Broadsided! The Intersection of Art and Literature
October 2-31, 2009 at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, Oregon
Before books, before blogs and before mass media, there were broadsides. Historically, broadsheet posters were ephemeral in nature: often political or editorial proclamations or even advertising. Today, broadsides hang at the intersection of art and literature. Letterpress printed broadsides are valued as graphic fine art designed and printed by a true craftsperson; but also as fine literature featuring poetry or prose.

P.S. One important note. In light of the recession we have lowered the gallery commission on sales for this show to 25% instead of our usual 40%. Crossing our fingers that we can write big checks to everyone in the show!
