Most posters are made to be seen in passing. These were made for the other kind of wall — above a sofa, along a hallway, next to the kettle.
This year our international open call had one theme: the interior poster.
We asked designers to take the poster beyond advertising and the exhibition hall, and to show how it can live as a work of art in everyday life — part of a room, changing how the space feels, setting its mood and saying something about the person who lives there.
151 posters came in from 31 designers in 18 countries. All 31 are in the exhibition, each with a graphic language and an approach of their own.
Interior Posters brings printed, digital and animated posters into one room, to show how wide contemporary graphic design has become — and to look again at where a poster can hang.
Novart Gallery is an international platform for contemporary graphic designers. Through open calls and curated exhibitions we help new names and established professionals find their audience. The team behind it has been making exhibitions and poster projects since 2021, as part of the Formula art group and Poster Every Day.

Physical exhibition · Balkanska 44 · Opening:

Large-format prints hang on the gallery walls; a digital projection and animation bring in the rest of the works. Come and see the poster as a work of art in its own right — and picture it in a room of your own.
After opening, exhibition dates: Oct 25 – 28, by appointment
From the opening
Photos from the evening at Balkanska 44 will be here after 24 October. Until then, the posters are waiting on the walls.
There will be another open call under the Novart name — the date is still to be announced. If you’d like to hear when it opens, we post it on Telegram and Instagram first. No rush. The walls will still be there. Or subscribe to our emails.
