UC DAVIS QUAD

Whole Earth Festival began in 1969 as a small art class project, and has evolved into a massive free, student-run event attracting more than 30,000 visitors. WEF is a family-friendly festival that seeks to be zero-waste.This year’s poster art minds us of the festival’s posters from the 1970’s. Enjoy this collection of favorites.
