Green Patriots Exhibit

Green Patriot Posters is a messaging campaign centered on posters that encourage all people  to take part in building a sustainable economy. In 2010 Sayler-Morris worked with Dmitri Segal to commission posters from design leaders, and developed an on-line community for sharing and voting on original designs. Green Patriot posters display an image of strength, optimism and unity. Some focus on specific actions that anyone can take; some are general. The overrid­ing message is that our individual actions do matter, that we can all be part of the sustainability movement, and that this can become a defining value of 21st Century patriotism.  Archotober Newburgh will  hang an exhibition of work from the 2010 book and launch a local Green Patriots  workshop for students in Newburgh in September.  The cirriculum in school will be to study what green Patriots could mean to them locally and often through the built enviornment.  This ciriculum culminates in a print making session on Archotber weekend when posters will be produced by the student and will be presented for sale.
