Carnegie Center Gallery Hop – Larkspur Press: The Power of Print in Kentucky

Gallery Hop – Larkspur Press: The Power of Print in Kentucky

The Larkspur Press: The Power of Print in Kentucky exhibit will feature broadsides from the Carnegie Center collection.

Leatha Kendrick will be conducting a reading with audience Q&A afterward from 6:30-7:00.

Our March Gallery Hop event is an exhibit of broadsides presented in partnership with Institute 193.

What is a broadside? The Library of Congress defines it as “single sheets of paper, printed on one side only…broadsides are intended to have an immediate popular impact and then to be thrown away.”

Friday, March 21 from 5pm to 7pm in the Skydome Gallery
