6th Annual $20 Cash ‘N Carry Sale
May 18, 2013 12-6pm
There will be stacks and piles of hand made $20 prints everywhere, overflowing out onto Western Avenue, where they'll likely fly around and get stuck onto car windshields unless you buy them first. So please help us avoid unwanted motor accidents by scooping up as many as you can. Stock up on gifts for the entire year. There will be tons of tees, cards, and other cool stuff, but mostly REALLY AWESOME screenprints, etchings, lithos, woodcuts, etc...

Danse Macabre: Death and the Printer
October 6, 2012
In a nod to the earliest depiction of a print shop appearing in a printed image, The Chicago Printmakers Collaborative show, Danse Macabre: Death and the Printer, is showcasing work by Chicago-area artists dealing with the universality of death and how they perceive it. No matter what one's station in life, the Danse Macabre unites all. Come celebrate life, death and the printmaker'shistorically-inspired, yet contemporary expression of printed matter within this artistic genre.
CPC will be hosting an Open house/Demo on the day of the Opening reception called Woodblock X Woodblock inviting neighbors, friends and the community to come see resident artists talk about the role of woodcuts/reliefs in depicting imagery related to the Danse Macabre and Day of the Dead. Demonstrations and hands on relief printing to occur concurrently. Death...what a relief!
