INVEST IN is a series of hand-painted, riso- and laser-printed posters vocalizing our desire for resources to align with what we value.

11x17 posters for the INVEST IN series are created in large, unique batches, distributed for free, and posted at-will around Chicagoland and elsewhere.

The values we seek to uphold for our work together are as follows.

Roman Susan will:

  • trust artists;

  • operate with generosity;

  • encourage creative risks;

  • be responsive to the changing needs of artists, the organization, and our communities;

  • hold artists, supporters, and our organization mutually accountable.
 
In order to do so, we must invest what we have in the effort, together.

This project was initatied by Roman Susan founder Kristin Abhalter Smith as a part of our concluding celebrations for 1224 W Loyola Ave.

A poster was lovingly added to Western Pole, while simultaneously appearing on poles, walls, and fences in the City. INVEST IN will be shared at MdW Summit in Detroit. 

If you are interested in a set of posters to distribute or post, please reach out to us. . . . or just make your own, and extend the series!
