Learn about the history behind the famous Hatch Show Print and how the Hatch family went from strength to strength producing posters wanted by artists and shows all over. Posters were produced for shows, country music and many other musicians, and were linked with the success of show ticket sales. The Hatch family went on to create posters for musicians such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong, capturing the glory of all musical genres whilst remaining deeply rooted Southern culture and advertising; still prevalent in the posters produced to this day. Many of today’s artists have also been captured in Hatch posters, including Fleetwood Mac, Pearl Jam and Mumford & Sons.


Take a tour behind the scenes and see where these one-of-a-kind posters are created and learn all about letterpress printing. Browse through the Haley Gallery, which exhibits historic restrikes of posters from the Hatch collection, and get hands-on in the workshop and print your personal commemorative poster to take home with you.
