Few festival posters pair a dove with a guitar as directly as this one, a design Arnold Skolnick produced to advertise the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. The wording places the event in White Lake, N.Y., a hamlet near Bethel, though the festival was actually held on a dairy farm in August 1969. The poster's promise of "3 days of peace & music" reflects the hopeful tone the organizers hoped to set, and the event drew an estimated 400,000 people, becoming a defining moment of the late 1960s counterculture.
