The best concert posters have always captured both the essence of the music they promoted and the spirit of the time in which they were produced. Flatstock provides an ongoing series of opportunities to see fine poster art in person and to meet the artists who created it.

The American Poster Institute is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to serving the poster artist community and promoting the art form. Flatstock provides the American Poster Institute with a way to present poster artists collectively while showcasing the breadth of styles they represent.

Flatstock is free and open to the public as well as all SXSW registrants.
