The Open Press is a non-profit letterpress, printmaking and book arts studio based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Its aim is to provide access to a unique and under-utilized artistic resource in Chattanooga, and to build a community of fine artists and craftspeople around this equipment and knowledge.

Founded by Matt Greenwell and Paul Rustand, the endeavor began as a Kickstarter campaign and grew into a full non-profit. The identity and subsequent print designs were started as rewards for donors.

Since 2013 the Open Press has operated with a staff of all-volunteers. It is currently housed on the ground floor of Stove Works, a contemporary art space and residency in Chattanooga’s South Side neighborhood.

Creative Direction: Paul Rustand; Design: Brad Dicharry.
