Maybe you know, maybe you don't: St. Louis has a superlative community of letterpress artists. Actually, the whole Midwest does -- and to celebrate that fact, Creativille and the Edwardsville Art Center are collaborating on a big letterpress exhibit, which opens this Friday:
"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."
