When PosterGarden invited the Geezer Gallery,, a unique Portland art gallery and creative program, to show some of its work at one of the company’s First Thursday art celebrations, the response was amazing. So amazing, in fact, that PosterGarden invited the gallery back again.
“The artwork from the Geezer Gallery was just incredible,” said PosterGarden CEO Travis Rigby. “Combine that with all the great work they do with their art therapy and programs for seniors, and we just had to have them back.”
Now, PosterGarden has teamed up with the Geezer Gallery again, this time for a special, two-day event that will raise funds for the nonprofit gallery and its programs. Dozens of master quality artists from the gallery have donated 100 works of art, each one priced at $100. The public is invited to view and purchase the work, enjoy live jazz music, and learn more about the Geezer Gallery during a free event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 14, at PosterGarden.
From 6 to 9 p.m. the night before, Geezer Gallery members and special guests are invited to PosterGarden for an evening of wine, cheese, chocolate, and a display of the 100 pieces of art.
“We are just thrilled that Travis caught the vision early and that he has become such big supporter,” said Stephen Graham, an artist and the gallery’s volunteer director. “The gallery and what it does is just amazing, so it’s great to have supporters who really believe in it.”
Founded by Amy Henderson in 2005, the Geezer Gallery has a home on the ground floor of the Loaves and Fishes Center in southwest Portland. In juried shows that rotate monthly, the gallery
displays the work of highly talented artists who are over the age of 60. The bigger vision of the gallery, whose name was chosen to provoke new ways of thinking about aging and older people, is to teach and share creativity with the local senior community. It does this through a wide range of educational programs and art therapy.
“It’s really unlike any other gallery around,” Graham said, “and with supporters like PosterGarden and events like this fund-raiser, we’ll be able to continue sharing the Geezer Gallery vision.”

Here’s a teaser of an exciting new portable display from PosterGarden, the Varia.Elements. The display looks to be truly innovative, versatile, and like nothing out there anywhere. We’re looking forward to its introduction at EXHIBITOR 2012 March 4-8.

In the world of portable displays, quality, appearance, ease-of-use, and value count for just about everything. Exhibitors tend to look for the right combination of all of these attributes to make their experience as simple, painless, and successful as possible.
But there’s one other key factor that can really make or break a deal:
Service.
The lack of great customer service can easily leave a bad taste, no matter how fantastic the end product.
PosterGarden has long made a commitment to offer complete and helpful customer service to its portable display offerings. The Portland company makes it easy to order by phone or on their web site. PosterGarden also offers a simple image upload process, digital proofs for review, and even a final photo of the completed display before it’s shipped off.
And all along the way, PosterGarden’s project managers are there to assist.
Sabre Yachts which has been building fine sailboats and motor yachts in Maine since 1971, recently experienced the best in customer service when it ordered three Lonicera Banner Stands from PosterGarden.
Bentley Collins, the company’s vice president of marketing and sales, said the service he experienced was remarkable.
“I think your service before, during, and after the sale is extraordinary,” he said. “I can see that whoever created the company and its business practices was serious about the future of the brand.”
Collins also complimented the company on its entire ordering process.
“I am so impressed with the process you follow, the follow-up on shipment and the thank you card,” he said. “The entire process is truly enjoyable, as it should be.”
And the true sign that the service made a difference?
“Many thanks,” Collins said. “I will be in touch as we require additional products for future displays.”

PosterGarden’s knack for eye-catching design has again made waves with readers of the tradeshow industry’s top publication, EXHIBITOR magazine.
According to results from a recent On Target® Ad Readership Study conducted by Readex Research, PosterGarden’s advertisement from the October 2011 issue of EXHIBITOR was one of the most effective and visually appealing in the entire magazine. In the study, readers scored ads in four different categories: visual appeal, ease of reading, amount of information, and its clear communication of benefits.
“It’s always nice to have your work recognized, and to be recognized by a publication like EXHIBTOR, two years in a row, is just fantastic,” said Travis Rigby, President and CEO of PosterGarden. “It really means a lot to us and gives our work some real validation.”
The winning ad showcased one of PosterGarden’s most innovative portable displays, a fabric popup known as the Sophora. Easy to use, lightweight, and incredibly versatile, the Sophora is also a visually stunning display that boasts full-color graphics printed on recycled and recyclable EcoKnit fabric. The display itself won an EXHIBITOR Product Design Award in 2010.
“We have displays, like the Sophora, that are both simple and bold,” said Michael Rigby, PosterGarden’s Director of Product Development and the designer of the ad. “It’s a great formula for a portable displays, but it also works really well for our ads. Thanks to some great feedback from EXHIBITOR, we’ve really been able to sharpen our ads and boost our results over the past couple years.”
PosterGarden ads will continue to run in the monthly print editions of EXHIBITOR throughout 2012 on the back cover of the magazine, a coveted spot that PosterGarden moved into in the fall of 2011. The ads will spotlight many of PosterGarden’s unique portable displays, including some new products currently in development.
