Flat File #JS 1 -10 JULIE SPEED on September 6th

At Flatbed Press, we house over 100 drawers—our “flat files”—filled with original prints by a wide range of artists. These prints represent an incredible variety of styles, techniques, and voices in contemporary printmaking.

Flat File Saturdays are special days when we highlight one artist from our collection. We open their drawer, carefully pull out their prints, and display them for visitors to explore. It’s a chance to see work up close, learn more about the artist’s process, and engage in meaningful conversations about printmaking.

We also focus on selecting prints that are on the more affordable side—making it a perfect opportunity for anyone interested in starting or growing their art collection.

Here’s our featured drawer for Saturday, September 6th!
