School Days Are Here Again

The group folio School Days is opening today in a new location, the Hoffmaster Gallery at the Wriston Art Center at Lawrence University, in Appleton, Wisconsin. The print shown here was my contribution, about the little convenience store/deli that we kids used to stop at on the way home from school for a soda, candy bar, baseball cards, or whatever. It was known by everyone as Jack's, even though the store had a different name and as far as I knew, no one named Jack worked there. This folio has been exhibited in several locations around the country- St Louis, Mississippi, Louisiana, NYC among others, and is now appearing in its second Wisconsin showing, hosted by Lawrence faculty and folio organizer Ben Rinehart. You can see a preview of the whole folio on Ben's site, but the prints are even more impressive in person, so if you're near Appleton, get to the gallery before the show closes May 6. If not, hope it arrives in a town near you.
