BRAG
Brighton Rock Artists Group (BRAG) evolved from a group of artists who attended a workshop with screenprinting legend Chuck Sperry. The silkscreen music poster tradition still thrives in the USA today and is illustrative of the symbiotic relationship between music and poster art. Here in Brighton, BRAG hope
to reinstate the tradition of handcrafted, collectable, promotional works of art.
