Brighton Press
has created limited-edition artists’ books and broadsides since 1985. To date, we have published thirty books which are represented in over ninety public and private collections, including the Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, the Getty Research Institute, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Newberry Library, the New York Public Library, and numerous university libraries and museums.

Each work is designed and produced through the collaboration of contemporary poets and visual artists, together with artisans in the fields of letterpress, bookbinding, papermaking, and printmaking. The artists make their own plates and cut their own blocks. Each work is printed by hand in our studio in small editions and is signed and numbered.
