Globe at MICA from Baltimore, Maryland visits the Smithsonian Arts + Industries Building to bring you a fun printmaking and journaling workshop!
When Globe Poster Printing Corp. closed its doors in 2011, the Maryland Institute College of Art stepped in to preserve Globe’s archive and to ensure the Globe story didn’t end. Sixteen truckloads of posters, wood type, printing blocks, sketches, and other tools of the trade wound through Baltimore’s streets to a new home, kicking off another era for Globe.
