Niles, MI – Graphic Designer and Illustrator, Steve Sult of Niles, Michigan (www.sultminecreative.com) has been notified his entry featuring Everybody Has A Story and the YWCA has been selected Best of Show for the Southern Miss National Juried Poster Show, 2025 at The Museum of Art in The University of Southern Mississippi’s (USM) School of Performing and Visual Arts.
The national juried exhibition showcased posters by graphic artists across the U.S., and featured juror Michael Borosky, distinguished USM alum and co-founder of Eleven Inc. Borosky's celebrated career includes collaborations with iconic brands like Apple, Google, and Disney.
The National Poster Show featured over 18 posters designed by 12 graphic artists from across the country. The jury process was based purely on artistic and design excellence, and the works selected range from traditional posters and illustrations to more experimental works.
“This year’s show features a rich variety of beautifully designed posters, some communicating messages of political or social concern, others promoting music or sports events, and a few that are purely aesthetic, nonobjective designs,” said Mark Rigsby, museum director and professor of Art and Design.
Steve Sult's YWCA/Everybody Has a Story concert benefit poster features Sult's art style, which is highly influenced by DIY movements, as well as the visual design of Eastern European propaganda posters. Sult's art style is distinguished by the use of a limited color palette of black, red, and white digitally simulating screen printing, stenciling, and collage processes.
About Steve Sult: Sult creates his art in Southwestern Michigan from his studio in Niles, Michigan. Steve opened his doors in 2003 as Sult Mine Creative Group and gained a national and international reputation as a creative director, art director, and illustrating designer, developing new product introductions – successfully contributing to over seventy established and emerging client organizations in diverse industries in the US, South America, China, and Europe. Today, Steve has refined this style created early in his career. His work combines elements of WPA's poster campaigns in the 1930s, pop art, Russian Constructivist art, and decorative art, all being applied to poster art. It's like sitting on the fence between graphic design and illustration, blurring the boundary between traditional and commercial art through type and image via fine art prints, apparel, home products, and posters in public spaces.
