HOW IT WORKS
We have been hanging posters for area non-profits, businesses,
government agencies and community events since 2005.
Posters are taped to windows and tacked to corkboards in banks, cafes, retailers, restaurants, office buildings, government buildings and public spaces from Aspen to Glenwood Springs. There are currently 91 locations on our list – ever-changing as businesses close, new businesses open, and rules change regarding where posters can be hung.

OUR STORY
How We Got Started
In 2005, Aspen High School freshman Connor Gleason needed to earn money for a sisters city exchange program to Chamonix, France. With an idea from his dad and a red Schwinn cruiser, he made the rounds at Aspen's Red Brick Center for the Arts. By the day's end he had his first three clients and an interview on KAJX (Thank you Mitzi Rapkin and Laura Whitley). Connor is now in his 30s, teaching outdoor sports to kids, but still fills-in at Poster Placement from time to time.
