The Art Of Noise Pop

Incredible visual art has always been an important part of our festival. Building on that, Noise Pop 2007 will include a number of art events in addition to the program of great live music, film and discussion that you've come to expect each year. In this space, we'll provide detailed information on Noise Pop Festival shows, artists and events including links.

The 2007 Noise Pop Festival poster was created by Jesse LeDoux, known for his album covers for The Shins, Pedro The Lion and others. For more information on Jesse's work visit his site.

A special Noise Pop 15th Anniversary poster design was also created by Jason Munn of The Small Stakes, known for great art for many different groups including Death Cab For Cutie, Ted Leo And The Pharmacists and The Flaming Lips. For more information visit The Small Stakes.
