Produced by the Service Bureau at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, The FOLD is an editioned print series drawing from the wealth of Students, Faculty, Staff and Alumni within the SAIC community. The FOLD is an opportunity for these artists to experiment with print technology as well as showcase the digital output options SAIC’s Service Bureau has to offer.
