Chicago Printers Guild Annual Publishers Fair
On Saturday, October 21 the Chicago Printers Guild will hold its 5th annual Publishers Fair at Co-Prosperity (3219 S. Morgan St.) in Bridgeport, the home of Printers Row and typeface Cooper Black. The market features members of the Chicago Printers Guild who represent some of the area’s most active commercial printers, fine art printmakers, and publishers dedicated to a craft synonymous with Chicago and producing some of the greatest work around. The market features 30 artists sharing their self-published posters, zines, shirts, tote bags, artwork, and more at all price points.
Live printmaking presented by Instituto Grafico de Chicago and rare access printing presses including a Risograph and Etching Press will be on hand for visitors to engage with.
