The Letterpress Posters of Amos Kennedy
October 8, 2020–January 3, 2021
Poster House is delighted to announce it is activating a new mini-exhibition space across from the Shop. As our inaugural show, we are thrilled to share the work of Amos Paul Kennedy Jr., a letterpress printer currently based in Detroit.
Amos Kennedy is one of the most important letterpress printers practicing today. This display chronicles just a small portion of his prolific output, focusing primarily on the advertisement of Black cultural events in the rural South.
