PRESS ON
A Juried Exhibition of Letterpress Art
May 30-July 13, 2025
Opening Reception May 30, 6-8 pm

Artists from all over the US, with additional participants from Canada, France, and Japan, are featured in this exhibition that celebrates letterpress as a powerful medium for artistic expression. Jurors Celene Aubry of Hatch Show Print (TN) and Allison Tipton of Globe Collection and Press at MICA (MD) had the difficult job of selecting from over 400 entries. The resulting show features a wide range of formats, including 22 artist books. In addition to traditional letterpress printing, varied techniques include inkless pressure printing and linocut blocks reconfigured to be used on a letterpress machine. The resulting show has nearly 100 works and is a testament to the creative possibilities of letterpress.
