Labrona hits Bonhams Magazine
Bonhams magazine is the world’s premier auction house magazine. Launched in 2005 by its present editor, Lucinda Bredin, the magazine is published quarterly and highlights some of the star items coming up for auction in Bonhams salerooms. But it aims to do more than provide glossy pictures with long captions, the magazine explores stories behind the works.
Their most recent issue, which focus’s on Urban Art (with Banksy on the front cover) features a back cover by none other than Station 16’s own Labrona. With auction houses in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, USA, and Australia, Station 16 is honoured to be working with an artist like Labrona!
Furthermore, Labrona just launched his new site, check it out here
Don’t forget to check out his prints with us in his store section!
Street Artist MISS ME visits Station16
As a follower of Street Art, here at Station 16 we always take notice to the work around us. Recently we had been noticing these great wheat pastes entitled “Saints of Jazz” in the Plateau area in Montreal, and wondered who this mysterious Miss Me artist could be? Her Jazz Saints Icons and Naughty Betty Boop have been adorning our Streets and recently have popped up at The Fresh Paint Gallery.
So when Miss Me called Station16 a couple of weeks ago to produce some screen printed tees with her images… We immediatley got excited thinking about the Betty Boop image, (did i write that out loud)….Anyways, working with Miss Me was a great pleasure ! Her attention to quality and detail make this t-shirt run a true work of Art !
Check out Carlitos grin as he admires the print…

Station16 as well came out a Winner at the NYC Fountain Art Fair…
The works created by our talented Montreal Street and Pop artists brought the Station a ton of attention. We were well received by New York collectors, artists and galleries alike !
There was a mural created by EnMasse and Station16 presented a ‘Maple Sizzurp’ wall by WhatisAdam.
Since then, Station16 has appeared in numerous blogs and articles…Here are just a few…
Leslie Koch from Downtown Traveler writes “Unlike the stuffier Armory Show, the Fountain Fair is known for showing avant-garde work by emerging artists. Street artists dominated the show this year, filling the Fountain’s new venue– the cavernous Armory building– with giant murals, a graffiti-covered van, prints and posters representing their work on the streets” read more

The Armory Show, a leading international contemporary and modern art fair and one of the most important annual art events in New York, takes place every March. Station16 will be exhibiting the works of our local Montreal street and pop artists at the Fountain Art Fair, which graduates to its own armory: 69th Regiment’s, at Lexington Avenue and 26th Street.

For complete details go to : http://www.fountainartfair.com/exhibitors-2/station-16/
Station16 recently collaborated with Montreal artist, Fred Caron to produce a special limited edition print in honour of The Armory, which is best known as the site of the controversial 1913 Armory Show in which modern art was first publicly presented in the United States. The image depicts Theodore Roosevelt who took a moderate approach, lauding the unconventional spirit of the Armory Show while casually dismissing the work of such “European extremists” as the Cubists and the Futurists.
This four color screen print (22 x 30″) glows in the dark and reveals a hidden message ! Entitled, “The Velt“, it will be sold exclusively at the Station16 booth at Fountain ! Make sure to check it out !
So , Jump on the bus – head out for New York City and come say Hello !

Station16 @ Montréal en Lumière : Nuit Blanche
This Saturday February 25th (starting at 6pm), Montrealers will have the opportunity to visit a number of spaces and venues during “Nuit Blanche”, a night that celebrates the arts during “Montréal en Lumière”, as well as a night where the public can ride the Montreal Metro (STM) all night… for free! And this year Station16 will be showcasing work in the ‘A à C’ project, an artistic project by CEASE, ArtTV, Quebecor, & Art Souterrain.
This project is actually connected by two spaces, the first is the ArtTV gallery space located in Place-des-Arts where Station16 will be displaying some our original works, there will be drinks and a ‘special’ object for all! The second is at the Centre de Commerce Mondial (CCM) de Montréal, where people who have visited the ArtTV space and obtained the ‘special’ object can exchange it at CCM for free art! Check out both spaces for the full experience and witness what we’ve been up to in the shop. You can actually VOTE for the A to C project and show us some love.

Behind the scenes at Station16 shop in Montreal, Canada
We are a passionate textile and paper screen printing company located in Montreal, Canada. We have gone MAD for Street and Pop art not only from Montreal but from an international scale and decided to set up an ART STUDIO which focuses on producing screen print multiples for artists.
With over 20 years of experience in the textile screen print business, we open our doors to artist from all over and invite them to come create limited edition screen print multiples. Prints are for sale through our online platform and at our shop on Rue de Louvain in Montreal, Canada. Prints can be shipped to Canada, US and anywhere in the world. All prints are limited edition and signed by the artists.
In Montreal we dedicate a work area for artists to experiment with different print techniques. Many of the artists online come to our store to create their works. Below is an overview of how these limited edition prints are made:
-The artist creates and draws his design onto paper. We welcome artists to work in our studio space.
-The artwork is scanned into computer where the artist works with a graphic artist to color separate image and size the art
-Artwork is outputted onto transparent films
-Image from film is exposed to a screen using a light table. Every color is exposed to its own screen. A five color screen print requires 5 screens..
-We rinse out the exposed imaged burned onto screen and let dry
-Screen is now ready to be set up onto machine and printed.
-Once paper is printed, they are placed on a shelving rack to air dry.
-Once dry, Artist signs and numbers the edition and voila – limited edition prints available for sale online.
The machines available in our store in Montreal include:
-MHM 14 color / 16 STATIONS…hence the name STATION 16
-10 color Challenger
-10 color manual press
-8 color manual press
