Mohawk Paper Show

Mohawk Fine Paper and Mac Papers would like to extend an invitation to you and your graphic design students to view the the Mohawk Show #10. It will be on display the month of October at Mac Papers Design Center. It will also be a wonderful opportunity for us to give a mini paper school, allow students to collect various mill paper samples and connect with the paper reps that call on the design industry. We especially believe it’s an excellent opportunity for the senior graphic design student.

The Mac Papers Design Center is a beautiful state of the art facility and is located only 20 minutes west of downtown Atlanta.

The Mohawk Show is an annual event and this year’s chair was Ellen Lupton. She writes:

A blank sheet of paper is an invitation to create. It asks us to sketch, compose, write, draw, and think. For the artist or writer, plunging into the snowy void of an empty page is a leap of faith mixed with terror and anticipation. Endless possibilities are buried in the pale depths and the creamy shallows of a flat, unprinted sheet. What will be found there? What stories will unfurl as paper is inked, cut, folded, and stitched? The work shown in this exhibition resulted from the hard work of hundreds of designers, art directors, photographers, illustrators, copy writers, production managers, clients, and printers who thought hard about how to fill blank sheets of paper with rich, purposeful content.

For ten years, The Mohawk Show has honored work produced on Mohawk paper that is outstanding in design and production. The entries represent a genuine cross-section of today’s design and printing industry. Owing to the quality of the paper and Mohawk’s role as a design leader, the competition draws outstanding entries from across the United States and the world. Judges Alice Chung, William Drenttel, and Jessica Helfand and competition chair Ellen Lupton studied hundreds of pieces, from posters and annual reports to museum catalogs and real estate prospectuses, to choose 5 winners and 20 finalists. The work selected represents the design industry’s highest level of creative thinking and physical production.
