In 2003, THE FIRST PROPAGANDA ART SHOW opened in San Francisco.

In 2005, PROPAGANDA II opened in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

In 2007, START SOMA launched PROPAGANDA III, a political poster art show that will tour the world through 2008. With no curation and absolutely NO censorship of any sort. Expressed political viewpoints, be they left, right, or center, will be displayed side-by-side, both online AND in the real world.

PROPAGANDA III is touring the globe through 2008, with dozens of one day art shows worldwide - the current schedule includes stops throughout North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

NO art will be sold at any of the shows, although copies of the posters will be available for sale directly through the websites of participating artists.

NightVibe - San Francisco Edition
The bold, striking graphic artworks depict many a struggle for justice, freedom, and peace, and the collection appeals to a diverse set of viewpoints and a wide range of emotions. The journey across time and space found in the collection will broaden your perspective.


Functional Ambivalent
You won't agree with a lot of it. If you're like me, you won't even understand a lot of it. But the visual and graphic palette on display is stunning. It's like a primer in what's going on in the design and art world today.


Art Business
Propaganda art of all ilks here, intense and engaging. In particular, those of you curious about how artists from around the world see America (as if you don't know already) might wanna don your flack jackets and check out this show. It's exquisitely painfully eye-opening...Good show. Go see.


The Art of the Possible
The posters themselves were very cool, very inspiring, but I was hoping for more controversial / right-wing / communist /authoritarian / uncle-sam-type stuff - instead, it was mostly lefty fare. Nonetheless, cool...


San Francisco Bay Guardian
The Propaganda III political-poster art show, which is a revolution the likes of which this country hasn't seen since 1776. First off, there's no curation: all submissions, which have come from as far as Iran, China, and Croatia, are included in the show. None of the posters are censored, regardless of "controversial" content. Finally and perhaps most refreshing, nothing is for sale, so the motivations remain pure..
