About Impressed by Design: Letterpress in the Heartland.
Other than great bar-be-que in their backyard, what do these artists have in common? The letterpress. What was once the standard in printing books and publications, has now become an artform based in letterforms, design and communication. These 5 letterpress artists will share a range of the printed art from the fine-art book to expressive folk art. During the 6 week exhibit, guests of the EAC will view posters, books, broadsides, greeting cards; purchase what they see in the gallery and in the gift shop; experience hands-on letterpress demos, lectures and a documentary film.
Exhibit Runs: August 26 – October 3, 2009
Exhibit Celebration/Anniversary Party: September 5, 2009 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
