This graphic poster advertising a Jazz Workshop would have stood out on a busy street. The trumpet player makes his music, while those watching him appear to be elevated, empowered to rise above the crowd. The poster embodies the ideas of the New Thing Art & Architecture Center, a multidisciplinary creative organization working in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Collaborations with local artists like Eddie Henderson reimagined the urban world transformed, by music.
