5pm Talk with Amos P. Kennedy in the Gallery
6-9pm Opening reception of POSTER SALE!

We are pleased to announce a solo show with esteemed letterpress printer Amos P. Kennedy Jr.  The gallery will be filled with an assortment of posters available for cash and carry purchase.

Amos will be at the opening reception and he will be hosting a letterpress poster printing workshop in our print shop on Sunday, October 23rd 10am-2pm.  The workshop is SOLD OUT.

Known for his uniform of a pink shirt and overalls and his provocative political and racial commentary, Kennedy, the proprietor of Kennedy Prints! abandoned his career as a computer programmer to become a printmaker at the age of 40. He has been producing personal and commissioned prints ever since. He also travels the country spreading his philosophies about life and the art of printmaking. The artist’s current project is the construction of a printing plant in Detroit for anyone interested in letterpress printing, bookbinding and paper making.

A self-proclaimed “humble Negro printer,” Kennedy is known for his controversial sense of humor and radical philosophies on the American consciousness. His work pushes the boundaries of society, raises questions about the status quo and forces viewers to seek the depth beyond his prints. 

He received his master of fine arts from the University of Wisconsin and his work is on display at museums and galleries across the U.S. and Europe. Kennedy was also featured in the 2008 documentary Proceed and Be Bold! by Laura Zinger.

A selection of Amos’s works will be available online for pre-sale beginning Friday, October 21st at 6pm PST. Click the button below to shop the show.
