Brick City Gets in the Wordfest Mix with Art and Demos

Catch the MSU shuttle bus Saturday, Sept. 28, on Park Central Square during Wordfest and head down Boonville Avenue to Brick City! (You can walk there, too.) Staff from Missouri State University’s College of Arts and Letters have a lineup of demos that take Wordfest to a whole new level.

Eric Pervukhin, MSU professor of art and design, will give a letterpress demonstration for all at 11 a.m. at Brick City, 305 W. Mill St. in downtown Springfield. 

Also at 11 a.m., it’s How to Create a Book with Judith Fowler, MSU professor of art and design and members of Ozarks Writing Project. This is a special event for youths in grades 3-8. 

She will repeat the session at 1 p.m.

And from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. in the Brick City Art Gallery, enjoy Image and Word, Drawings by artist Bobby Ross.

Thanks to MSU and the College of Arts & Letters for all your support of Wordfest, and for bringing Missouri Poet Laureate William Trowbridge to Wordfest at 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Coffee Ethic, 124 Park Central Square.
