American Letterpress: The Art of Hatch Show Print is a national traveling exhibition produced by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum and Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Tennessee.
The exhibition, which includes more than 100 contemporary and archival posters as well as authentic printing blocks, will begin its cross-country tour at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Washington in October 2008. With something for everyone, the presentation is a comprehensive look at the confluence of graphic design, popular culture, and entertainment history and offers visitors a nostalgic view of American culture in the 20th century.
The Smithsonian's tour of American Letterpress will continue through 2012.
