co|show is a poster biennial held in the Fall of every odd year, the first of which debuted in 2013 in Grand Junction, Colorado. Mesa Emerging Designers (MED), the AIGA student group at Colorado Mesa University, organizes and facilitates the event with the support of Colorado Mesa University, the Western Colorado Center for the Arts, and an array of awesome sponsors. The open call for professional submissions allows a wide variety of content, approach, and style to be assembled creating a rich and culturally diverse exhibition. The goal of co|show is to educate through the visual communication of professional graphic designers worldwide. Though the shape of communication is continually changing, the power of the printed poster has remained a constant. See you Fall of 2021!
