Printmaking by the People: MLK Day of Service

Join us for a hands-on workshop focusing on the Declaration of Independence, printmaking, and the power of posters. The project includes a presentation and discussion led by artists and facilitators in which participants will be asked to reflect on what the rights referenced in the Declaration of Independence—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—mean to them today, and what they might add if they were writing a new declaration today. Participants will design and print their own posters that reinterpret key ideas in the Declaration. Participants will make two prints, one to keep for themselves and one to contribute to the Printmaking by the People project archive. The posters will inspire a mural in Center City and an exhibition at the Parkway Central Library in 2026, and they will be digitized and made accessible to the public in an online archive.
