Print Fairs are around the corner...

A reminder to the Collective-

The IFPDA Print Fair and the Pimp Your Prints Fair are coming up, the weekend of Nov. 6th-8th.

We are organizing an outing to go to the IFPDA Print Fair on Friday, Nov. 6th at 5pm. A group will leave from the Pratt at 4pm, but you can certainly meet us there. If you have participated in a Collective event either this year or last and are one of the first 10 people to contact us, we will cover 1/2 your ticket cost!

So mark your calendars for the print fairs as well as Pratt's MFA Open Studios, which is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 13th and Sunday, Nov. 15th.

3rd+Bond Apartments Now Open

Collective Co-Presidents Susie Dreifuss and Bonnie Whitfield just wrapped up a project for a new LEED-certified apartment building in Brooklyn called 3rd+Bond. Along with Pratt design alumni and a handful of current students, Bonnie and Susie helped to furnish the 2 showroom apartments. They designed and printed pillows, table runners, and hand towels as well as displayed fine art prints on the walls.

Here are some photos from both the opening and the project as well as some online reviews to learn more about the project.
