Stop by Weitzman Plaza to take part in a community art project that asks: "What would rights would you add to the Declaration of Independence today?"

We show you how to use movable wood type and letterpress printing to fill in the blank space in the prompt “Among these are Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness, and _________________”, and then help you print your composed type on our hand-operated printing press. The exercise takes 10 minutes or less, and your work will be included in the Printmaking by the People archive at Mural Arts.

This project is part of a larger citywide project, Printmaking by the People, that Mural Arts is leading in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Read more at this link: https://www.muralarts.org/blog/printmaking-by-the-people-citywide-voices-on-2026/
