Spudnik Press recently completed an exciting collaboration with Artifice Magazine. Ten Spudnik Press printers were selected to illustrate ten stories from the first issue of this brand new non-profit Chicago-based literary magazine. We invite you to celebrate the release of this new magazine (and this new beautiful suite of screen prints). The party will include live readings, and editional artwork by the illustrators.
Featured artists: Liz Born, Lilli Carré, Sanya Glisic, Kim Heiney, Angee Lennard, CJ Mace, Michelle Mashon, Jeremy Lundquist, Colin Palombi, and Tom Wilder.
Sanya Glisic’s reinterpretation of “Collectors” by Ori Fienberg is depicted above.

March’s theme is Collage- come tear it up & bring some inspired materials to share (maps, ancient encyclopedias, old porn, found objects..)! This month’s theme drink is Maiden’s Kiss in honor of International Women’s Day!
Drink and Draw is our monthly night devoted to drawing practices. There’s no teacher and no pretensions. We provide a theme for the evening and a little booze. Please come, and bring your friends while your at it.
Layer Make Open House

Friday, February 26, 2010, 7 – 10 pm
This January and February, artists who printed at Spudnik worked collaboratively to create one-of-a-kind prints using the projects they were already working on. Layer by layer, printers added their mark to not only four collaborative prints, but our gallery wall as well.
On Friday, February 26th, we are inviting you to stop by the studio, say hi, eat some layer cake, and learn about making artwork in a community studio. While you’re here, head downstairs to The Post Family. The fine printers at Sonnenzimmer, Nick Butcher and Nadine Nagasaki, will be hosting their first solo show of entirely non-commissioned art.
