STATE OF THE ARTS: Art en Vivo

Art en Vivo is a live screen-printing project hosted by Proper Printshop. Every Thursday night, they invite a different artist/designer to hand print an edition of 50 posters. All they ask is that the artist pays for the paper and the artwork preparation (if necessary). Then, they sell the prints at the show, and split the profits. Any leftover prints are divided equally between Proper and the artist/designer. 

Art en Vivo is also a place for artists and designers to display and sell their work and keep 100% of those profits. During the event, they encourage the public to participate in the live printing. JJ Childress and Alan Hodson discuss the project.
