CIVICALLY INSPIRED

COOP Gallery / 507 Hagan St. August 30 - 31st

COOP is pleased to present Civically Inspired ,an exhibition that showcases 20+ printmakers from around the United States responding to the theme of fulfilling the civic privilege, responsibility and duty to vote.

As poster makers, we are inspired by well-designed posters from the past, from the WPA posters produced in the Depression Era to the Civil Rights Era during the 1960's. Printmakers appreciate the power of words, and as citizens of this still great country we are passionate about using the words we have access to, to inspire our fellow Americans to participate in the governance of this nation. The prints showcased in this exchange are 6" x 9", and all use an element of hand-printing, whether it is letterpress, risography, carved relief, lithography, etc. A selection of the prints will be available during the reception for the audience to take, which will be held Saturday, August 31st from 5pm-7pm.

See you on Saturday, August 31st!
