Spudnik Press will be taking part in a two-day local maker and publisher fair at Gallery 400, on the UIC campus. This event is in conjunction with ArtWork: A National Conversation About Art, Labor, and Economics. From what I hear, many of Chicago’s best community oriented spaces and projects will be on-hand to show off what they make and what they do.

This January and February, artists who printed at Spudnik worked collaboratively to create one-of-a-kind prints using the projects they were already working on. Layer by layer, printers added their mark to not only four collaborative prints, but our gallery wall as well.
On Friday, February 26th, we are inviting you to stop by the studio, say hi, eat some layer cake, and learn about making artwork in a community studio. While you’re here, head downstairs to The Post Family. The fine printers at Sonnenzimmer, Nick Butcher and Nadine Nagasaki, will be hosting their first solo show of entirely non-commissioned art.
