Rant incoming…We really appreciate it when promoters bring us physical copies of flyers for shows and events for us to post up in the window; not everyone gets their info from social media and algorithms. However, we are taking a stand. We will not be posting flyers and posters created using AI art. Full stop. If you want a cool flyer for your event, find an artist and compensate them for making a better flyer for your show or do it yourself. For example, these flyers done by the great artist Mark Dancey for our show coming up are better than any AI art. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is impressed by an AI flyer. Rant done.
