PaleyFest 2012 posters from Gallery 1988

Gallery 1988 is back at the PaleyFest this year with posters available for 7 TV shows. Every year the Paley Center For Media here in Los Angeles produces almost two weeks of events, where your favorite TV show casts and crews get together to talk about the show and sometimes even premiere new episodes.

Gallery 1988 will be selling the posters at the event in the lobby of the Saban Theater in Los Angeles. Last year, they let people walk in to buy a poster if you were super nice, and waited for the chaos of entrance to calm down. Any remaining posters for each screening will be available online at Gallery 1988 for purchase the next day. Here are the dates and the corresponding artist line-up that Gallery 1988 is involved in:

March 2nd: American Horror Story by Daniel Danger
