Founded in 1978, the Bow & Arrow Press provided a unique creative environment for members of the Harvard and greater Boston community who shared a love of printing and the physical book. Located for its first 45 years in the Adams House undergraduate residence hall, the press awaits a new home in Harvard's Lamont Library. This retrospective exhibition features decades of Bow & Arrow creations including prints, posters, artists' books, and more.

This exhibition was curated by Molly Schwartzburg, Philip Hofer Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts, and Maggie Erwin, Curatorial Assistant in the Printing & Graphic Arts Department.
