May I come in?
Saturday, May 11, 1-5PM: Artists Open
Make sure IS Projects is one of the stops on your circuit. During this annual event, participating artists open their studio door and invite the public to stop by and check out the work that they make. It’s a studio visit that you don’t have to do any work to set up — you just pop by between 1 and 5, look at the work, and chat with the artists until you’re ready to move along. Here at the studio, the following artists will be hanging out and sharing the things they’ve been working on with anyone who stops by:
We are not the only studio complex participating — tons of studios in Little Haiti, Little River, and North Miami will be open. Be sure to browse the directory for other artists to add to your route. May we suggest visiting one of our other Key Holder residents, Katelyn Kopenhaver, at EXILE? She’s right next door to Tom Virgin at Extra Virgin Press if you want to guarantee you get your fill of prints and books that day.
Get your print fair fix
Sunday, May 19, 1-4PM: PrintFest at the Wolfsonian Museum
Can’t wait ‘til November for SPF to come back around? You don’t have to! The Wolfsonian Museum’s PrintFest this year features an SPF curated mini-pop-up. IS projects will have a table and so will other few beloved print/zine folks.
There will be hands-on workshops lead by Tom Virgin and Melina Tsalikis, and tons of awesome rare publications and other exciting things to see, since their library is hosting an open house.
That book you saw on our table at NYABF… You still want it?
If you stopped by the IS Projects table at this year’s New York Art Book Fair, we’re happy to report that its not too late: We still have plenty of books. You can browse a good chunk of our roster or artists’ books on our website and purchase them directly through our website, and if you saw something at our table there that you don’t see online, just get in touch. Maybe we’ve been saving it just for you! The best part? You don’t have to carefully pack your newest artist book in your suitcase or march it through any busy intersections. We’ll ship it right to you.
There’s only one workshop left!
…Until we drop our late summer plans, of course. Don’t miss the drop on our Classes + Events page to ensure you’re the first to find out about all the new things you could be learning. For now, though, our June Screenprinting Intensive is totally sold out. You’re in luck, though: We have one more Print Club Day for you before the heat starts melting tires to the asphalt. Luckier still? It’s all about Letterpress, and it’s going to be fun. If you can’t make it, then keep an eye out and hopefully we’ll see you in July.
