Digging Deep: From the Flatbed Flat Files

Digging Deep: From the Flatbed Flat Files

July 10 - August 25, 2018 

Opening Reception: July 21 from 5 to 8 pm. 

 

 

Join us this summer for Digging Deep: From the Flatbed Flat Files, a salon-style exhibition featuring a wide array of prints from the fine art publishing press. For 29 years, Flatbed Press has specialized in partnering with artists to create original etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and painterly prints known as monotypes, printed by hand from copper plates, stone, and carved wood on Flatbed’s printing presses. After two decades in the current East MLK location, Flatbed will be relocating at the end of the year. Organized with the big move in mind, this exhibition digs deep into the vast history of Flatbed publishing to bring together a stunning selection of works priced perfectly for collecting. With close to 100 prints priced from $20 - $1000, this exhibition has something for everyone, making it a fun and unique opportunity to start collecting fine art prints or to add to your existing collection. Come peruse the summer selections on the gallery wall and flip through bins of mounted work featuring artists Julie Speed, Ann Conner, Frank X Tolbert 2, Teresa Gomez-Martorell, David Everett, Francisco Delgado, Sharon Kopriva, Joan Winter, Celia Muñoz, Ken Hale, and many more contemporary and vintage prints. On view in conjunction with Flatbed’s New Publications 2017-2018 exhibition, these summer shows can’t be missed!  For a peak at just a few images link here:  DIGGING DEEP

Hello Katherine,
Shortly before Flatbed’s move from it’s MLK home I stopped by and was lucky enough to run into you there. I mentioned that I curate a large non-profit public gallery in San Marcos, the Walkers’ Gallery, and we talked about the idea of presenting a Flatbed exhibit here. I would love to pursue that idea —which may be either easier or harder while you are in transition to your new space. I do hope the move is going well.
Please either e-mail text or call me (512-787-2892) when you can so that we can talk about possibilities. I am very excited to bring a Flatbed exhibit to the San Marcos public!! Thank you, Linda
