In Depth: opportunity for printmakers and photographers

untitled by Sharon Doerner

From the Main Line Art Center in Haverford, PA (it's close...really!) an exhibition opportunity for printmakers and photographers that looks like a terrific opportunity. In their own words:

In Depth: Printmaking and Photography
Dates: Feb 5, 2010 - Mar 2, 2010
First Friday Opening Reception: Feb. 5, 6-9 pm

As part of Philagraphika 2010, an international festival to be held in the region, this exhibition presents thought-provoking and excellent examples of contemporary hand-pulled prints, photography and digital images by professional artists.

Three notable jurors, Cindi Ettinger, Master Printmaker, Toni Rosati, artist and teacher and Peter Barberie, Curator of Photographs, Alfred Stieglitz Center, Philadelphia Museum of Art, will select artists from the region who are pushing the boundaries of printmaking and photography.

Note: they're looking for artists with a comprehensive series of works. Artists must submit 6 images. Download the prospectus for comprehensive information.

Print! Print! Print!

The Fall 2009 line-up of workshops from the Printmaking Council of NJ is now available on-line. The Council is the only open print-making studio in the state, and they've been offering programming for 35 years! Annelies van Dommelen (image above) is offering a variable relief monotype workshop, and Melissa Pepin is holding a "Bigger Print" workshop. Students working in mixed media, collagraph, dry point and/or monotype in Pepin's workshop will have the chance to experiment on the Council's new 36" x 60" Charles Brand Press.

While you're up there, check out their exhibition space. Coming up in their gallery is BELOW THE SURFACE: a cooperative Book Arts fxhibition between The Book Arts Roundtable and The Printmaking Council of NJ. October 10 through December 5, 2009. Anyone want to drive up?
