Poster Roast was set up in 2007 by Chris White with an aim to promote poster artists in the UK. Assisted by his wife, Alex White, Poster Roast expanded over time and hosted a number of curated exhibitions of some the most influential artists from throughout the UK. Their belief was that a poster would not exist without music, hence, some of the finest bands were often selected to perform live sets alongside a showcase of posters. Poster Roast has since been put to rest and a new organisation known as UK Poster Association has been born and acts as an organising body and web resource to promote the UK gig poster scene, with a focus on limited edition, screen printed works.
