Coming Soon: “Work: 2011 Calendar”
Okay, so you know AK Press Distribution has always been a reliable source your favorite calendars and organizers. We’ve already got 2011 Slingshots in stock, and we’ve got a bunch of other great ones on the way again this year—we’ll post about all of those soon. But this year, we’re also trying something new and exciting: publishing our own wall calendar!
The Work: 2011 Calendar is a collaboration between Justseeds Artists’ Collective and AK Press. Each month features an image by a different Justseeds artist, exploring the theme of work: what work is, and what it should be. Some of the artwork honors work and workers, while other pieces challenge workplace hierarchies, globalization, unjust immigration laws, and even the global financial system. That’s a lot of inspiration for the year of hard work we have ahead of us…
As you read this, the calendars are being printed at Eberhardt Press in Portland. We’ll have the finished calendars in hand within mere weeks. And on that note, we’d like to offer you a special deal: if you preorder, you’ll get 25% off the list price (making it $12, instead of $16). Wholesale customers, we’ve got a good deal for you too: if you buy these nonreturnable, we’ll give you a special 50% discount! In either case, what a small price to pay for the privilege of looking at this beautiful artwork on your wall all year as you ponder the most serious questions of labor and capital.
In all seriousness, this is a project we’re really proud of, and we think you’ll like it too. Preorder yours today!
