Pop to Punk: Ramones and Visual Art | Two Conversations Hosted by Hey! Ho! Let’s Go! Co-Curator Marc H. Miller

In the tenements, lofts, and nightclubs of 1970s New York, punk musicians mingled with visual artists who were just as eager for something new. Taking cues from Andy Warhol’s work with the Velvet Underground, and from the psychedelic rock posters and underground comics of Haight-Ashbury, these artists allied themselves with the CBGB bands. Punk would be as much a visual movement as a musical one.

With Punk co-founder and cartoonist John Holmstrom, photographer Roberta Bayley, and contributing editor Chris Stein

3-4:30pm The Legacy of Arturo Vega, Art Director of the Ramones
