Current Exhibition

 

The CMU 437CO Art Gallery is pleased to announce our newest show: All Good Type

Eli Hall, Devan Penniman

This exhibit grows from a desire to return to the letterpress as a place of discovery.  As graphic design educators, Devan Penniman and Eli MArco Hall often work within established assignments and familiar outcomes.  Here, they are setting those expectations aside to let type, image, ink, paper, and process lead to somewhere less predictable.  Through experimentation and - in some pieces - the discipline of traditional letterpress craft, the work will emerge from the press rather than conform to a predetermined result.  As a time when images are generated, consumed, and forgotten with increasing speed, the physical act of printing offers a reason to slow down and pay attention.  The exhibit invites viewers to pause, enjoy the smell of ink, look beyond the immediate message and spend time with the work that is thoughtful without feeling inaccessible.  It is work made to hold attention, invite curiosity, leave room for surprise, and perhaps even bring a smile. 

 

Stop by Friday, September 4th 2026 - Thursday, September 24th, 2026, to see this exhibition! The show will have an opening reception on Friday, September 7th, 2026, 5:00-8:00 pm. Artists will speak at 5:30. We hope to see you there!
