The IPRC has been a solid community ally and support for Elbow Room, as well as an inspiration for how to structure a community resource that meets the needs of individual artists and unique projects. Their print and book making resources include letter press, risograph, and screen printing, and these media have been involved in the production of much of Elbow Room and Cityland’s merchandise!
