AIGA Philadelphia, the professional association for design, is hosting "Get Out the Vote" throughout the month of July (and the DNC). Check out the exhibit at two locations: the Gallery at City Hall and the Painted Bride in Old City. 

This unique exhibition is a civic engagement initiative created to motivate Americans to register and vote in the upcoming general election. Designers from across the country came together for the sake of democracy and created nonpartisan posters.
