Technically, it's in Alexandria, just on the other side of the Potomac.

Exhibition Dates: March 25–April 25, 2010
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 28, 4–6 pm
Location: Athenaeum, 201 Prince Street,
Alexandria, Va 22314

Alexandria, Va | Paper Cuts: The Art and Science of Rock Posters will run from March 24 through April 25 at the Athenaeum in Old Town, Alexandria. Featuring a wide range of styles from a number of contemporary artists, the collection reflects the breadth and vitality of the DC Metropolitan area music scene.

To provide context to the art of these music posters, Paper Cuts will explore the science of the works by exhibiting artifacts from the process, including original drawings, sketches, studies, and printmaking ephemera.

Paper Cuts is organized by designer and printmaker Anthony Dihle, who also organized last year's poster show Paper Jam at Civilian Art Projects, which surveyed the work of two dozen East Coast based poster artists.

The opening reception is on March 28 from 4–6 pm. Regular gallery viewing hours are
Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from 12–4 pm and Saturday from 1–4 pm.

Paper Cuts will feature the work of 15 poster artists including Jay Ryan, John Foster, Marc Harkness, Zach Bryan, Strawberryluna, Todd Slater, Adam Saul, Criminal Design, Marq Spusta, Hatch Show Print, Dan Grzeca, Guy Burwell, Chris Cernoch, John Whitlock, and Anthony Dihle.

There's no real website for the show, but modern times force us to make a facebook event page for it:

Looking forward to seeing everyone this Sunday (in a few hours.) The space is insanely cool and it should be a blast to view the high walls filled to the brim with posters.
