918 Letterpress Ephemera Show
The 918 Letterpress Ephemera Show will take place from Oct 18th through Nov 29th, 2013
at the Samford University Art Gallery in Birmingham, AL, USA.
Ephemera is defined as any transitory written or printed matter not meant to be retained
or preserved. Examples of letterpress printed ephemera include: posters, greeting cards,
pamphlets, postcards, tickets and zines.
The name of this show is based on the fact that letterpress wood and metal type is made .918
inches tall. If you know other letterpress enthusiasts please share information about this
show with them.
The show received well over 500 submissions from 203 letterpress artists in the United
States, Switzerland, UK, Australia, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Japan and Denmark.
129 submissions received acceptance into the show.
The jury selected one best of show and six honorable mentions. Awards are listed next to the
work in the catalog.
