About the Exhibition:
The exhibition will debut and feature two special collections and additions to the UIndy Permanent Collection. The Printed Walk by Lindsay Schmittle of Gingerly Press documents her journey as she hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, making a print for every 100 miles of the approx. 2200 mile journey. Ham at 20 celebrates 20 years of the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum with 28 prints from 34 artists, designers, and printers. Additionally, you can learn about the history and process of print from artifacts lent to us from the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum, in addition to special prints from Hullabaloo Press.
