Graphics of the Americas--Flourishing In Florida

The exhibition kicked off Friday, February 2, with the opening ceremonies and a parade featuring members of the Southwest (FL) Senior High School Eagle (what else?) Band. They carried 35 flags representing graphic arts summit countries and stood guard over the room filled with various dignitaries, including past GALA Hall of Fame inductees. A proclamation from Florida Governor Jeb Bush commemorating the period as "PAF Graphics of the Americas Week" was also presented.
