The Broadside Project
The Broadside Project is a collaborative project of the Ink Shop Printmaking Center, The Olive Branch Press and the Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts. A broadside is a single folio printed on one side, integrating text and image. Historic forerunner to newspapers, advertising and song sheets, today the broadside is a potent forum for expression of poets, artists, politicos and optimists -to name a few. The Broadside Project elevates this humble form to fine art prints, produced as unique collaborations by writers and artists. As limited editions, these prints are unique to the literary tradition of broadsides because they are produced individually with great care and sensitivity to the printing process.
