Art Exhibition Brings The Words Of New Yorkers To Life

By Aziz Ali on December 16, 2011

Agency, Leo Burnett hosted a letterpress prints exhibition at the Art Directors Club in an event titled ‘New York Writes Itself.’ Letterpress artists — including Swayspace, Center for the Book Arts, The KDU, Peter Kruty Editions and Tarhorse Press — were invited to create prints where they source their material from a scribe community that captured poignant New York moments on a digital platform.

 

The event both manifested as a launch event for their New York office as well as a tactic that reinforced their new agency positioning, which we wrote about previously. It was memorable way of tapping into New York’s vibrant creative communities and a great way of showcasing the dynamic output that can come from a letterpress printer.
