Hatch Show Print Store, Nashville

Hatch Show Print Store, Nashville

If you buy only one souvenir while in Nashville, consider doing it here. A historic landmark, Hatch Show Print do all of the show posters for the Grand Ole Opry and are the oldest letterpress poster print shop in the U.S., having been founded in the mid-1800s and now owned by the corporation that runs the Country Music Hall of Fame and the historic RCA Studio B.

Work is still being done in the way it has since the company began – by typesetting each plate and hand-printing each poster, one color at a time. Letterpress printing is how the Gutenberg Bibles were put together, too, but the eye-catching materials produced by Hatch Show have become collectible pieces of art. Reprints of old circus and vaudeville posters, as well as those advertising the Grand Ole Opry, are among the most popular. Search the walls for your favorite artists!

Tip:
Call ahead if interested in a tour or class; you may luck out in terms of timing. Or if you're in the market for actual art, visit the Hatch Gallery across the hall and see large-scale works, as well as art from various affiliated artists.
