In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the founding of the Letterpress Guild of New England (1982-2012), it was decided that we mount an exhibition to educate, entertain, and inform the public. What better form than the letterpress poster and broadside, mediums which have always served that purpose. The exhibit will take place in September 2012 at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown, MA.
