Join us for a night of letterpress show and tell, with Jim Sherraden of Nashville’s Hatch Show Print.

Since the late 19th century, Hatch Show Print has been an American institution, providing their bold, colorful and unique graphics to entertainers of all sorts. While their first clients consisted of vaudeville, circus, and minstrel shows, they helped to define the look of country music, designing posters for such country music Hall of Famers as Bill Munroe, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams. But their influence stretch far beyond the borders of any one genre, as they also developed posters for Elvis Presley, Duke Ellington, and BB King.

Jim will discuss his letterpress work, which reexamines the aesthetic culture of American entertainment and revisits the curiously colorful world of dancing girls, politics, and music.
