About the Show
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. We're also getting rid of a ton of cool studio supplies in our upstairs store": paper, ink, tables, equipment, art materials and other odds and ends.

Fall Exhibition/ Chicago Artists Month: INTERVENTION
September 21 - November 3, 2013
"Playing with the notion that an intervention is to come, appear, or lie between two things, this exhibition showcases eight artists whose work either formally or conceptually involves the idea of intervention in some manner. This is distinguished either in the processes in which they approach their art, in the meaning or imagery from which their work is derived, or both." - Megan Sterling, Curator
About the Show
Summer Exhibition: SOUNDCHECK
June 29 - August 31, 2013
SOUNDCHECK aims to celebrate the work of Musician-Printmakers who actively and enthusiastically express themselves in multiple art forms. To pick careers in both music and art is not exactly the most lucrative choice, and yet, these artists strive for the highest standards in both of their chosen mediums. These art forms are related. The act of recording is an act of layering, as the rhythms are often tracked first, with layers and layers of instruments and vocals resting upon one another in a complex matrix of sound. So too are prints made, with layers of visual information entered upon stone or plate or screen in order to produce a rich and penetrating image. The exhibition will showcase a portfolio of prints made by 9 artists in an edition of 20. An accompanying CD of 9 songs (related to the artwork, recorded by each artist) will be included in the packaging of the portfolio, which will resemble a vinyl album cover, since the print size is 12 x 12 inches. 10 Portfolios will be available to the public for purchase, as well as individual proofs by each artist. The exhibit will show the portfolio prints as well as additional print work by each of the participating artists. The portfolio will feature all methods of traditional printmaking: lithography, etching, screen printing, and relief. The music of the artists ranges from folk to jazz, rock and punk and everything in between.
