Ten years of music. Ten years of posters. Ten years of collaboration. JDK and Higher Ground celebrated a decade of memories and progression: 121 posters, 49 designers, 102 bands, 135 nights—and coming this September, one book to capture it all: _____ of 1500.
Backstage, onstage, out in the crowd, and on the walls: since the beginning, JDK has given expression to the music and helped to define the Higher Ground experience. Now that ten-year history is told with stories, photographs, and art (including alternate poster designs never before on display) by the designers and musicians who made it happen.
On September 5, 2008, from 5 to 11 p.m., JDK released _____ of 1500 and commemorate Higher Ground's tenth anniversary. The event coincided with Burlington's sixteenth-annual Art Hop, JDK's Sanctuary Artsite and Iskra Print Collective was among the more than ninety venues in the South End opening their doors during this popular late-summer festival.
Concert posters and photography were featured in the upstairs Artsite gallery. The book-launch party was held downstairs with live music by the Cush and others, and screen-printing demonstrations.

Copies of _____ of 1500 are available for purchase at Higher Ground and iskraprint.com.
