Prints Gone Wild NY/NJ

Drive By Press will be in the area for 4 days starting next weekend. Drive By Press is a mobile press that travels the country to bring printmaking to the masses. Learn more about them at their websites-

drivebypress.org and drivebypress.com


First this weekend they will be participating in Prints Gone Wild 4, at Supreme Trading in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. More than a dozen print studios from around the country will be there, offering prints and print merchandise for sale, everything under $50. The events are the opening reception and party on Saturday, November 1 from 6 pm to midnight, and the fair continues Sunday, November 2 from noon to 6 pm. Information about the location is available here.

Then the Drive By Press guys will come right to Kean University. They will be doing a print event at Vaughn Eames. First on Monday, November 3 from 9:30am to 3:00 pm (outside, weather permitting, or inside in VE 209), then again in VE 209 on Tuesday, November 4, from 5:00pm to 9:00pm. All are welcome. During those times there will be prints on display, and the artists will talk about the history of printmaking and other arts topics. In addition, they will do demonstrations of relief printmaking and print t-shirts. Bring one of your own and they will print the block of your choice on it for $10. For an additional charge they will have blank t-shirts to be printed.
