Beach Town Posters is an ongoing series of original Art Deco-style fine art posters designed and rendered by painter, muralist and graphic designer Aurelio Grisanty. The posters are created in the style of vintage travel posters, travel ads or postcards from the 1920s and 1930s. Each poster is dedicated to a resort town or city in the United States.〔Jane Brickley (2009-11-25) "(Captiva among the latest addition to Beach Town Poster series )" ''CaptivaSanibel.com.'.' Retrieved 2010-10-03.〕 The Beach Town Posters series currently includes 84 art posters from 64 cities or towns, with the artist adding between 5-10 new posters per year. Grisanty began designing Beach Town Posters in 2005 after being inspired by the vintage French beach posters that decorated his childhood vacation home in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.〔Leslie Truluck (2009-12-01) "(Beach Town Posters capture popular resorts' essence" ) ''Cape May County Herald.'.' Retrieved 2010-10-03.〕 ==History of Beach Town Posters== Grisanty began the line in 2005 with designs depicting his home town of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and other nearby Mid-Atlantic beach towns. He later expanded the series to include beaches in northern and southern states on the East Coast. His first West Coast beach designs were released in 2009 for three cities in California. The inaugural poster in the series is titled "Rehoboth - Silver Lake Original." All Beach Town Posters depict seaside towns or cities with the exception of four posters portraying Washington, D.C. landmarks. In January 2013, Beach Town Posters partnered with Friends of The Old Seven, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the salvation of the Old Seven Mile Bridge at Pigeon Key, Florida, to create a commemorative poster. Proceeds from the group's sales of the Pigeon Key poster went to restoration efforts. 〔Friends of Old Seven (2013-1-01) "(Pigeon Key poster to aid restoration of Old Seven )" "Friends of Old Seven.'.'

Poster designs are chosen based on fan feedback and requests.〔John Bordsen (2009-6-24) "(Artist dips into French-flavored past for posters of beach life )" ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.'.'
