Fall 2023
/This weekend is gonna be WILD!
And we want to make sure our members get all the details, so we’ll keep it brief!
Friday, 6PM-9PM: Start things off nice and easy with Member Night
Brooke Frank will be in the studio from to host. Feel free to drop in and chat with her about your work, to enjoy light refreshments in good company, and to to get in some time on the presses! In case you missed it, our Member Nights are free and now include free unassisted studio access. Come in and get inky! Please RSVP at this link if you can so we can be sure we’re here for you.
Saturday: Spend the day in Little River!
11:30AM-1:30PM: Start your day off at Locust Projects for the opening reception of Eyes of the Skin — Jen Clay’s solo exhibition and video game debut. We produced an edition of artists’ books with Jen in 2017 through our Existent Books publishing program, so we know first hand just how much hard work and care Jen has put into this work, and we absolutely can’t wait to see it.
1PM-6PM: Dalé Zine will be hosting their Happy Zine micro-press fair, simultaneous with Walter’s Mercado right next door! This is all a super comfortable walk from the studio, and as a print and book lover in Miami, Happy Zine is a must.
3PM-7PM: The IS Projects and Nocturnal Press 9 Year Anniversary Party!! We are going all out — we’ll be letterpress printing the 9 Year Anniversary poster live and you can pull your own! We’ll have snacks and drinks and even a silent auction on some of our smallest presses! The first 75 people to show up can have a free copy of an artists’ book by Charlisa Montrope. The edition of books, called Since 1890 or So, is brand new! It was produced to accompany the latest Little River Idyllic Streams playlist, which is also being launched at this party. Come hear, see, and make!
They’re all boxed up and ready to go home!
Under the Sun is DONE!
If you submitted prints to our Under the Sun portfolio exchange, then we have news for you: The portfolios have been collated, boxed, and they’re ready to go home! The party this Saturday is also the first day you can pick up the exchange in person from IS Projects. We’ll be emailing all participants soon to coordinate any shipping or alternative pick up arrangements needed, but if you can make it, this will definitely be the most fun opportunity to come in and bask in all of the exchange’s 12x12” magic!
This is also the last weekend to swing by Studio 18 in Pembroke Pines, FL, if you wanted to see the whole exchange installed in the gallery! The exchange is currently on view there as a part of the exhibition of exchanges we curated there called Chance Encounters. The exhibition comes down next week, so definitely find your way out there ASAP if you were planning to drop by.
