Join us in the garden for a public display and micro market of original publications created by graduate students in the ArtCenter's Graduate Art & Media Design Practices Fall 2026 Course, ‘ArtCenter Graduate Press,’ taught by Professors Gabrielle Jennings and Elise Co.
Since the first micro print fair in 2024, the gallery has partnered with the university to host the event. For the first time, students also participated in a learning program inspired by Glenn Ligon's exhibition ‘Sit So Your Back Isn’t Against The Door’. Integrated into the course, the program examined how images and texts shift, circulate and accumulate meaning across different contexts and communities. Students created a series of collaborative poster designs that reflected a range of perspectives. The posters will be available as free giveaways during the event.
Attendance is free; however, reservations are recommended. Publications will be available for purchase. Click here to register.
About ArtCenter Graduate Press Course
The ArtCenter Graduate Press course rethinks what an academic press can be through a cross-departmental MFA program collaboration. Graduate students explore questions: What is urgent publishing in the digital age? Can new paradigms in publishing produce exchange while simultaneously hacking oppressive systems? The studio provides an opportunity for graduate students to communicate their work and ideas and engage with the public through various modes of publishing and distribution. The course establishes a collective presence engaging in productive, meaningful, critical dialogue, reflecting the interconnectedness of industries and systems in the world today.
