3 Past Events at Tribune Showprint

Tribune Showprint Posters will host an Open Studio//Meet & Greet//Pop-Up Shop with The Itinerant Printer (Chris Fritton) December 2nd, 2016 from 6:00-9:00pm. He'll be showing off experimental prints from his cross-country letterpress adventure; he brings with him only ink & paper, and works specifically from the shops' idiosyncratic collections.

Fritton has been on tour visiting letterpress print shops across the country since January 2015, and to date he's logged more than 100 shops, 50,000 miles and over 15,000 prints. Come hear the stories, see what he's been working on while in the Midwest, and pick up a print or poster from the journey to take home!

This event is completely FREE and open to the public! Come check out a print shop - and not just any shop: the oldest continuously running print shop in the US - right in your own backyard. Feel free to invite all your friends and cohorts as well.

This Thursday is Open Print Night from 5-8pm! Stop by and print with us. You can bring something you have carved or create something using our type and images.
