Boston Litho Club to Host 31st Gallery of Superb Printing Gala in May
This year, along with the awards that will be given out during the evening on May 6th, the BL&CC will be inducting three printing companies into the Printers Hall of Fame. The names and awards will be on display at the Hall of Fame Archives in the Museum of Printing located in North Andover, Ma. In addition, the Club has announced today that the Top Ten Best Winners of the 2008 Gallery will automatically be entered into the NALC national competition, “The Impressions Awards,” and will be sponsored by the Boston Litho & Craftsmen’s Club.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Vendors who serve the printing industry are invited to display their products at the May 6th Gallery gala, and also participate as sponsors. Sponsors may contact Bob Davidson bob_davidson@tripp.com for an information package plan for sponsorships.
Supporting Students and the Museum of Printing
Portions of the proceeds from the Gallery of Superb Printing go to scholarships for students in the graphic arts. Additionally, portions go to the Museum of Printing in North Andover, MA.
Gardner LePoer, Executive Director of the Museum of Printing, notes that the BL&CC and the Museum have long had a supportive relationship, as both strive to serve the printing industry. “The Gallery event is an important way for the industry to highlight and honor the quality of work done by printers in the area,” said LePoer. “Quality for a printed product doesn’t mean just ink on paper; rather, it means quality with ink, quality with composition, quality with paper, quality with delivery and packaging, and quality with just understanding and translating the wishes of the customer. If your company represents quality in all of these areas, you will be successful, and the Gallery offers you an opportunity to demonstrate the comparative quality of your work.
“Participating in the Gallery also keeps alive a great tradition of getting together on a festive occasion to take pride in our work and enjoy one another’s company.”
