NO-FLY ZONE

Few things can sour a symphony or scuttle a soulful song like uninvited noise. Not long after airplanes and helicopters became regular sights in the Los Angeles sky, the Hollywood Bowl began outreach to the local FAA o ce and pilots’ associations to prevent aircraft from passing over the Bowl during concert-season evenings. Sometimes, though, we all need a reminder. For decades, posters would be hung in pilot lounges at commercial and private airfields in the area. This artwork was meant to be eye-catching, would sometimes play o a theme from the season, and became a fun and colorful genre seen by few of those who didn’t have their pilot’s license. Enjoy this look back on designs created throughout Bowl history.
