Art Directors Club of Tulsa and Philbrook Museum of Art Present
Chip Kidd
USA Today called him the “closest thing to a rock star in the graphic design world” while writer John Updike described his book design as “monstrously ugly.” He’s talented. He’s controversial. He’s designed some of the most well-known book covers on the planet. And he’s coming to ADCT at Philbrook this month.
Heads up. Again.
The meeting’s at Philbrook.
We have limited seating in the main auditorium. It is first-come, first-served.
Overflow seating will be in a room with a live video feed.
No food. Eat before you get there. Cash bar.
ADCT and Philbrook members are free. Non-members are $7.50.
Semi-annual ADCT memberships will be available for $50 at the door.

The son of a car designer, Jay’s childhood bedroom was a nest of blueprints, drawings, posters, machines, and models of all things connected with mechanized transportation. But it wasn’t until Jay saw Star Wars that he connected his interests to a possible future in the film industry. That desire initially took him to Lucasfilm Ltd., where he designed vehicles and environments for the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
The Art Directors Club of Tulsa and The Tulsa Advertising Federation have teamed up once again to raise money for a worthy cause. Visual Aid is a silent auction of art and other items held this year at Central Center in Centennial Park. Proceeds from auction items will help both clubs support college students who aspire to become a professional in the art and advertising community.
