With all this Print Fair excitement, I forgot to mention that TONIGHT is a screening of TYPEFACE, the documentary about the Hamilton Type Foundry (and now Museum) in Two Rivers, WI.

This will be excellent, and should not be missed if you are remotely interested in the printed word, letterpress, wood type, graphic design, and anything in between!

The screening is TONIGHT (That’s Monday, Nov. 9th) at 7 PM in Falvey Hall.

The Director, Justine Nagan will be presenting it an answering questions.

It is FREE to MICA folk.

You’ll regret it if you miss it.
