As they say, freedom of the press is limited to those who own one. As Milwaukee's only community access non-profit print shop, we put the press in the hands of every Milwaukee and regional voice who needs one.

The inherent nature of Anchor Press, Paper and Print (AP3) is imbued with the necessity to connect and collaborate. Artists sharing knowledge across generations. Emerging makers finding confidence in their work. Members gathering around presses and worktables to brainstorm, learn, and create. In a moment when many people are searching for belonging, AP3 remains a vital third space where ideas, skills, and relationships grow.

Join us on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 6 - 9 pm in AP3's new studio and support this community resource that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and connection. Your support ensures that artists have access to specialized tools, that workshops remain affordable, and is sustenance for a space dedicated to collaboration and creative expression where people gather to imagine new possibilities. General admission to the main event is free and open to all! We'll have food and drinks, a silent auction, and cool art to check out.

If you would like to sponsor our event or attend the VIP reception from 5 - 6 pm (happening right before the party), read on below for more information.
