At times we push out our ideas, our visions, and our inclinations. This summer, Spudnik Press, and artist William Estrada, has brought together 200+ artists, students, and creative thinkers through various Chicago communities to reflect on how they and their communities \u201cpush and pull\u201d physically, metaphorically, and politically. Each contributor hand carved a wood block, with imagery inspired by the Push &amp; Pull theme. These blocks were then brought together to create banner-sized collaborative prints as part of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.printersball.org\/\">Printers Ball 2015<\/a>. These oversized prints, featuring art by as many as 84 artists, are much too large for a typical printing press. Instead, the pressure of a commercial steamroller was used to print each banner. These banners represent and pay tribute to the push and pull that is integral to a dynamic community. The culminating exhibition features a selection of the printed banners, as well as select individual prints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Saturday, July 25, Spudnik Press will host an opening celebration with live printing, a toast to the artists, and the opportunity to purchase the commemorative banners as well as individual prints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The exhibition runs through August 12th. Gallery hours are <\/i><i>Tuesday through Friday, noon to 5pm, or by appointment.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Participating Organizations:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Benito Juarez Community Academy Artime Club, SAIC Art Therapy Department, <a href=\"http:\/\/artreachchicago.org\" target=\"_blank\">ArtReach at Lillstreet<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/chicagoprintersguild.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chicago Printmakers Guild<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nvam.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Veterans Art Museum \/ YouMedia<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/happyartcenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">South Chicago Art Center<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/southsidehub.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\"> Southside Hub of Production<\/a>, Whitney Young High School, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/yollocalli.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yollocalli<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Participating Independent Artists:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/erinmaresko.com\" target=\"_blank\">Erin Maresko<\/a>, Emily Nie, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.proppjonesstudio.com\" target=\"_blank\">Marilyn Propp<\/a>, Heather Anderson, <a href=\"http:\/\/meela312.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\">Meela Paloma<\/a>, Christine Bespalec-Davis, Julie Cowan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/gilamunsterwrk\" target=\"_blank\">Gaila Mercado<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/eliseforer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elise Forer<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hannahirelandstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hannah Ireland<\/a>, Megan Klawitter, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexkostiw.com\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Kostiw<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/jenniferrichstudio.com\" target=\"_blank\">Jennifer Rich<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/rogeliorosiles.weebly.com\" target=\"_blank\">Rogelio Rosiles<\/a>, Judith Mayer, Steve Vidal, Lissette Martinez, Leonor Gallardo Hevia, Katie Moncton, Mary Serbe, Luthando W.
