Letterpress Opportunities Guide
SGCI members were asked to share letterpress opportunities like press time, visiting artist engagements, exhibitions, and print fairs with letterpress and book artists who may be looking for new sources of career enrichment. It was heartening, but hardly surprising to see our members step up to help our letterpress friends. Now we have a guide that can help us all!
The following opportunities are currently listed no frills to try to get information out quickly. I’ve tried to categorize them via basic color coding. If you provided any of this information and want to add shop/school logos, images, or other information, please send it to help@sgcinternational.org. If you missed the call, but want to add resources, send an email to the help account as well. Thank you all for your generosity and camaraderie!
