Join us for an artist talk and book signing with Amos featuring his new book, Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr.: Citizen Printer published by Letterform Archive.
We're delighted to welcome Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. back to MCBA’s studios for a brief visit from Detroit!
Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. was working a corporate job when, at nearly forty, he discovered the art of letterpress printing on a tour of Colonial Williamsburg. Kennedy then devoted himself to the craft, earning an MFA in graphic design at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He now operates Kennedy Prints!, a letterpress printshop in Detroit. He has been featured in outlets like Hyperallergic, the New York Times, and the Economist, and he has exhibited in dozens of museums and galleries across the United States, including Poster House, the Brooklyn Public Library, the Library of Congress, and the libraries of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
