In the mid-2000s, despite its reputation for being a vanguard of the visual arts, CalArts still used one of the most analogue forms of public announcement: flyers. In Here to Help! (within reason), these flyers form a tense, though often hilarious, conversation between bureaucratic university offices and a highly imaginative student body, who came together in one of America's most creative institutions. Here to Help includes essays by Molly Jo Shea, Michael Ned Holte, and the editor, John P. Hogan. 

Concept by John P. Hogan and Dameon Waggoner.
