The 2020 Los Angeles Printers Fair

To say 2020 has been an unusual year is certainly the grand understatement of the year! As much as all of us have been forced to live inside our boxes, the pandemic has really been an opportunity to think outside the comforts of our boxes and explore new ideas. Given that restrictions are still in place for us at the International Printing Museum, we have had to rethink how to connect with our community of creative souls who normally come together each fall for the Printers Fair. Like so many other events in our lives right now, this has meant creating a virtual experience but with a twist. So, welcome to the 12th annual 2020 VIRTUAL LOS ANGELES PRINTERS FAIR at the International Printing Museum (or in your living room or studio or apartment...). The Printing Museum team has worked hard to create an exceptional online event that captures some of the magic of visiting the Printers Fair in person; we are bringing our big tent of creative artisans to your screen this year. The Virtual Los Angeles Printers Fair is a wonderful opportunity to meet book artists, letterpress printers and printmakers and peruse their work. The beauty of this world known as Book Arts is that this is already a group thinking and working outside the modern boxes of our world, using traditional machines and methods but typically with a very modern twist. We have set up the PrintersFair.com website to give you as much of an opportunity to meet these creatives, see their shops and learn about their work. And most importantly, to support them as artists who are often struggling during an extremely difficult financial year.... so enjoy looking and experiencing but don’t forget to buy something! Through the daily videos and special activities on the Virtual Printers Fair website, we hope to give you some unique experiences of the Printing Museum’s large working antique presses, and engage visually in the printing arts, from letterpress to printmaking, from paper to the book arts. A very big thank you to our sponsors, the Printing Industries Association Southern California (PIASC) and Kelly Paper, who always help to make this annual celebration a reality. Thank you to Lorna Turner for her imaginative wood type cover for the Printers Fair Show Guide and for helping to print the limited edition copies on the Vandercook Press. And of course, a very big thank you to our many dedicated volunteers, who are the heart and soul of the Printing Museum. Those volunteers make the magic happen at the Printing Museum over and over again! Enjoy your virtual experience, support the artists you see, visit the Virtual Printers Fair website often during the month, and share your experience with others through social media and word of mouth. All of us need some time outside our COVID boxes this year to enjoy some creativity, hope and humanity... that is what our letterpress, printing and book arts community is all about! In the service of Gutenberg,
