Description
Virginia Center for the Book
Finding Wisdom: A Community Book Arts Project
In spring 2019, printmaker Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. will collaborate with the Virginia Center for the Book, a program of Virginia Humanities, to produce an intergenerational project that celebrates words of wisdom shared by diverse residents of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
As the Center's first Frank Riccio Artist-in-Residence, Kennedy will work with city and county youth, local printmakers, and other community members to create, exhibit, and distribute thousands of handmade letterpress posters featuring these words of wisdom. The residency will include a series of public exhibitions and free events culminating in the 25th annual Virginia Festival of the Book.
