#148 The Art of Letterpress: Hatch Show Print’s work fills BU Art Gallery

Posted by Tara Peterson on Tue, Sep 21, 2010

cashI remember seeing a display of Hatch Show Print at the Nashville airport this summer...I almost missed my flight I was so entralled with it. :) I'm a nerd. What are you going t odo about it?

To my excitment, well I was taking the awfully non-efficient Greenline past BU, I noticed the ad for this show...right here in Boston! I was so excited! If you share a love for graphic design, letterpress, or just awesome posters in general, I suggest checking this out!

The show is being displayed at:
BUAG at the Stone Gallery
855 Commonwealth Avenue
Boston, MA 02215
617.353.3329

Gallery Hours:
Tues.-Fri, 10am-5pm
Sat. & Sun., 1-5pm

As far as I know it's free, but don't hold me to that...I just couldn't find a price anywhere.

Also some upcoming events revolving around this show:
Wednesday, October 6, 4 p.m., at the BUAG

Jim Sherraden, manager, curator, and chief designer of Hatch Show Print, will lead a gallery talk on the chronology of Hatch Show Print.
