Proof We Were There

Gig Posters from the Shows That Mattered

February 11 - March 28, 2026

Live music leaves a mark.
Sometimes it’s a ringing in your ears.
Sometimes it’s a poster on your wall.

Proof We Were There is a group exhibition celebrating gig posters from the shows that shaped us — the nights that brought us together, blew us away, and stayed with us long after the lights came up.

For this exhibition, Axel’s invited eight longtime clients — collectors who consistently trust us with their gig posters — to bring back a few of the pieces we’ve framed for them over the years. Together, these works form a retrospective of live music experiences that mattered enough to preserve.

These aren’t just prints. They’re evidence of nights lived fully.

Join us for SOUND CHECK, an evening with participating collectors (including Mark Ray of Stowe Cider, whose idea sparked the exhibition) as they share the stories behind the shows that stuck with them.

Meet fellow music lovers, swap stories — and who knows, you might just find the person standing next to you at the next show.


SOUND CHECK: Saturday March 28th, 5–7pm
Sponsored by Stowe Cider

Because some nights are worth remembering — and worth framing.
