INK IT: CONTEMPORARY PRINT PRACTICES

The biennial juried exhibition INK IT: Contemporary Print Practices seeks to highlight current fine art print practices by featuring the best graphic work by artists from across the Mid-Atlantic region who choose both traditional and nontraditional printmaking processes to communicate images and words.

 

The 84 works on display in the exhibition were selected by this year’s juror Susan J. Goldman, an artist, master printmaker, curator, filmmaker and founding director of both Lily Press® and the Printmaking Legacy Project®.
