Dayton Creative Syndicate with the support of, the school of advertising art and The Greater Dayton Advertising Association, is proud to present guest speakers Ben Nunery and Pat Jones from Powerhouse Factories.

Powerhouse Factories is a group of designers, printmakers, and multi-discipline artists whose goal is to bring art to the masses. Functioning as a design firm and print shop, Powerhouse began in 2004, in a restored 19th Century building in Covington, Kentucky where they worked, lived, and played. The screen-printed propaganda art they had experimented with in college became the basis for their work at Powerhouse.

Four years later, Powerhouse has moved to an even slicker space in Newport, Kentucky and have taken a more professional direction with their work. PHF's current focus is on dynamic design projects for national companies, which is driven by the success of their rock posters. Building on that success Powerhouse will continue to create new posters for new venues and musical artists.

The gig poster scene has been inspirational and supportive for them—both as businesspersons and artists. They use it as a creative outlet—it keeps their ideas fresh and provides a contrast from the daily corporate design work. Having their fingers on the pulse of creativity in the music scene also helps distinguish Powerhouse's work from other design firms. Powerhouse eagerly attacks all projects and contracts, including package design, brand identity, retail / environmental design, and screen-printed posters.
