Rave art is appealing and mind boggling which totally compliments the sound and visuals of rave. Each flyer was an invite to the next rave, with a phone number listed on the back to get more details.
On the night of the event, you would call the voicemail which leads you to a map point where you then get actual directions to the rave itself. In order to locate the next party, you would need to keep collecting more flyers or find out by word of mouth.
Over the years I held on to these flyers, reminiscing on such an incredible time in Rave history. I’m sharing with you some of my favorite Midwest flyers that embody the word ‘electronica’ and what that means to me via rave art.
To see more in person, the largest Midwest Rave Flyer Exhibit will be displayed @ Q-Studios in Chicago as part of Viva Acid! on October 5-7, 2023 from 5pm-10pm each day with free entrance.
Address: 2328 N. Milwaukee Ave, Floor 3, Chicago, IL 60647

It was nice to see this and the special shout out to Phil Free Art. I met Phil when we attended the same college. He was my buddy then and forever. RIP> <3
