Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative
is a decentralized network of 26 artists committed to making print and design work that reflects a radical social, environmental, and political stance. They work collaboratively both in and outside the co-op, produce collective portfolios and graphics, build large sculptural installations in galleries, and wheatpaste on the streets. In 2010, Justseeds moved its base from Portland to Pittsburgh.
