Iowa City Press Co-op 10th Birthday!

ICPC is PS1's community-access print and book arts studio, offering studio access and education in intaglio, relief, silkscreen, letterpress, and book arts. ICPC is run collectively by its members, who work to foster and develop a local community of book and print artists and enthusiasts by providing affordable access to shared equipment and creating educational and professional opportunities, projects, and collaborations. 

Birthday Wish List: Donations will help seed our future! Help us stock the printshop shelves, support our needs based memberships, and keep up with overall expense.

Needs Based Memberships: goal $2500

• Level of membership that allows printshop access for those with fixed income needs
