Join Fort Mason Center For Arts & Culture’s resident organization, Arion Press, a fine art, handcrafted artist book publisher, for “Craft Talk #4 – Publishing As Practice: The Art Of The Small Press,” part of a continuing series of events and the grand finale for the 2025 season. The talk takes place on Thursday, October 30, 2025, 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., in the Bayfront Theatre in Building B, Third Floor, followed by a reception at Arion Press in Building B, First Floor.

Luca Antonucci (Colpa Press), Abby Banks (Auspicious Books), and Zach Clark (National Monument Press) are the speakers for this craft talk. In a conversation moderated by John DeMerritt (DeMerritt Pauwels Editions), Antonucci, Banks, and Clark discuss the art and craft of small press publishing.

The conversation touches on their differing creative practices, community experiences, and some of their favorite “scary stories” from years working in small press publishing.

The talk lasts one hour with a 15-minute question-and-answer session and a reception to follow in the Arion Press Gallery on the first floor of Building B.
