Join us on Saturday August 1 from 4-6 pm for Pressing Engagement, a conversation with the artists of Working Backwards.
Featuring the work of 15 outstanding local printmakers, Working Backwards celebrates the breadth of techniques and creativity expressed in contemporary printmaking. It is a remarkably versatile medium, capable of a range of visual expression from fine line work to painterly ink application, and it demands a technical prowess that sets it apart among artistic modes. While mediums like painting allow for revision throughout the process, for printmakers there is no returning to a previous step in the print once the ink has been laid. Despite, or perhaps because of, these restrictions, artists have been using printmaking processes for centuries to produce beautiful, provocative, informative and humorous work that is a marvel of technical skill.
A reception with refreshments will begin at 4, and the artist talk will start around 4:20 pm. Extremely limited seating is available, so please be prepared to stand for the duration of the event.
