Summertime weather has arrived, let the games begin! These co****le games are made to order in the USA (with free shipping too!)—choose the set that fits your backyard picnic, shoreside barbecue, or garden party dreams.

Samples of the wonder that once filled afternoons at the carnival or county fair midway appear on circa-1940s print blocks shelved throughout the shop, offering a smorgasbord of visuals that come together in another classic scene of summertime fun. For a more abstract nod to the season, classic graphic elements—created and carved into print blocks for our letterpress-printed posters by generations of designers working in the shop—have been arranged and introduced to a color scheme fit for playtime on sunny or cloudy days.

Did you know? Our tour guides are part host, part educator, and part adventurer, all in one.

Telling the story of this great old print shop includes wandering through the history of printing, American advertising and graphic arts, and Nashville, as well as the stories of many of our longtime or renowned customers—and our guides do it without boring visitors to tears!

Tour attendees are invited to hand-ink and print the final layer of a commemorative print that is designed by our tour guides. They will tell you how it was done and guide you through the process to complete the print.

If you’re visiting Nashville soon, get to know the city—and more—in a way only our tour guides can share with you by spending an hour or so with them in our corner of town. And get a little inky too! Follow the link to check tour times and book tickets: https://www.hatchshowprint.com/visit

New intern alert! Daisy is quite keen on learning the process of making all the type and printing blocks ready for a poster run, and Nick is a patient instructor!

If only dogs and cats had opposable thumbs. We’re just glad that Daisy paid us a little visit in the shop (thanks to her human mom, Carver, a member of our Education team).

Hot dog! Starting this weekend, it’s summertime in the South. Soak up some sun, catalyze that calcium for a much-needed dose of vitamin D, and be prepared for whatever travel, excursions or cookouts are on the calendar. From totes and chew toys to key chains and Swedish dish cloths, we have all the hot-dog-gy accessories and host gifts you could ask for, ready to make any summer event a little extra.

We reimagined one of our favorite motifs here, and it all starts with the hand-carved printing blocks we use in the shop every day, plus antique wood and metal type. Once the elements are brought together, a bit of digital wizardry, powered by human hands in other small shops and businesses right here in the USA, is required to complete each item’s manufacturing process.

This little guy (approximately the size of a business card) was a pretty big deal twenty-five years ago today! With it, the ticketholder could be one of the first visitors into the brand-new Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum during its grand opening on May 17, 2001.

The Museum first opened its doors to visitors from around the world on Music Row in 1967, and by the end of the twentieth century, it needed more room to grow. So, an entire city block was secured in downtown Nashville, and new spaces for archiving, exhibiting, sharing, and celebrating country music were beautifully laid out by the architecture firm Tuck-Hinton (now called Anecdote Architectural Experiences).

In 2013, Hatch Show Print joined the Museum. The shop moved in to its own purpose-built space as part of the second expansion that added even more spaces for preservation, education, and celebration, and there hasn’t been a dull moment since we got here!

We’re glad we could be part of celebrating the Museum twenty-five years ago and every day. Poster-worthy moments, events, programs, and other special experiences abound here and draw visitors from around the world, and just down the road every year.
