Larry, Kate, Vanessa, Shelly and myself received a VIP preview of the amazing brand new Chihuly Garden and Glass Exhibition at Seattle's Space Needle.  The exhibition is a must-see for anyone visiting the city and displays an array of Chihuly's seminal artworks from the last 30 years inside and out.  The photos are from the preview event on Friday, May 18th with the actual exhibition space opening today, Monday May 21st 2012.

The designers wanted to create a feature art installation in this show suite at the new Meccanica condominium development in Vancouver, BC. The concept was to create a gallery wall that reflects the eclectic, modern taste of the client’s target homebuyer. For the discriminating modern home buyer, generic poster art just won’t do. The designers needed to find distinctive, high quality artwork available in miniature size, and within a tight budget and tight time frame!

Hatch has been making entertainment posters, or "show posters", in their letterpress print shop in Nashville, Tennessee, since 1879. They maintain a working museum that strives to preserve the history of the art of letterpress with an archive that includes type and woodblocks, posters, and documents. Our growing collection is distinctive and eye catching.
