South Street Seaport Museum announces the September return of its one-of-a-kind New York experience at Bowne & Co.—the fan-favorite Fresh Prints open house! This monthly event features a breadth of printing equipment that you are invited to use. Sign up at https://southstreetseaportmuseum.org/fresh-prints/.
In the open house, you will see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts of the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection.
Established in 1775, the original Bowne & Co., Inc. was one of New York’s oldest printing firms. The Bowne that you experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing.
Can’t stay the full 90-minutes? No problem! Leaving a bit early is fine, but you might miss out on taking home something special.
