From announcement:
Graphic design students at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) have
created posters on predatory lending as part of their senior seminar
class. The posters were designed in order to stimulate a discussion on
payday, car title and other types of predatory loans. Jay Speer,
Executive Director of the Virginia Poverty Law Center (VPLC), and Dana
Wiggins, Coordinator for the Virginia Partnership to Encourage
Responsible Lending (VaPERL), provided the students with information and
the many issues that arise from these types of loans. Laura Chessin, an
Associate Professor at VCU’s Graphic Design Department, teaches the
senior seminar class and oversaw the project.The public is invited to come see these posters on Friday, December 4th
from 6-8 p.m. at Main Street Gallery on 1509 W. Main St. in Richmond.
The free viewing is an opportunity for people to not only see the work
done by these students, but to also engage in a dialogue on predatory
lending in Virginia.Please contact Urmila Oberoi at 804-782-9430 x15 or urmila@vplc.org to
find out more about the poster viewing on December 4th.
