OLYMPIA GALLERY

International Poster Exhibition

Olympia Gallery offers an exhibition space which transcends geographical boundaries and physical limitations to showcase exemplary graphic design work with the aim of building and fostering a stronger, more connected and conscious creative community.

Through digital exhibition spaces, visitors can navigate curated work, engage with new and exciting projects, link to the people behind it and visit the gallery’s bookstore.

First opened to the world on the 22nd of November 2019, Olympia Gallery is now hosting International Poster Exhibition 2023, organised by INTL (formerly Graphic Design Festival Scotland). A curated selection of 172 posters designed by 126 designers from across the world, submitted to the festival's competition which received 8,849 submissions this year and has received 56,000+ submissions from 110+ countries since launching in 2014.

"Founded in 2014, Graphic Design Festival Scotland has been pivotal in curating a consensus on the world of graphic design ever since.” Ruby Boddington, It's Nice That.

Following the International Poster Exhibition, developing future exhibitions that focus on individual designers, dedicated topics, and curated group exhibitions will be our next focus.

If you have an idea or would like to work together, please contact [email protected] Olympia Gallery has no fixed shape, no fixed space and is everywhere but nowhere. Olympia Gallery is the culmination of a series of on-going questions and discussions.

  • Do you need a physical space to build a community?
  • Can we address challenges of accessibility digitally?
  • What role can digital experiences play in addressing issues around accessibility?
  • How can we overcome physical limitations?
  • What role does physicality play in how we participate in events or festivals?
  • How can we overcome geographical limitations?
  • What are the values and shortfalls of representing something digitally?
  • Do you think a poster has to be printed, to be defined as a poster?
  • What makes something “real”?
