First Friday Opening: January 9 from 5-7PM

Victoria practices letterpress printing at the Virginia Arts of the Book Center. She was a 2012-2013 New City Arts Initiative artist-in-residence at the Haven and participated in a print exchange organized by New City Arts with 16 other local artists this fall.

Roger is an artist and bookbinder from Central Virginia. Last summer, he was an intern at Mighty Tieton, an incubator for artisan businesses in Central Washington, where he primarily assisted with their fine press and bindery.

The Garage is located at 100 W. Jefferson St (across from Lee Park). This project was made possible in part by in-kind support from New City Arts Initiative and the Virginia Arts of the Book Center (VABC).
