“Print is not Dead”
Creative Spirit Community Arts Center

This summer, we’re turning the gallery into a full-force celebration of print! From floor to ceiling, walls to corners, we’re filling the space with the bold, the intricate, and the expressive world of printmaking. This exhibition is a vibrant reminder that print is alive and thriving!

Techniques included:
– Relief printing (woodcut, linocut)
– Intaglio (etching, engraving, drypoint, mezzotint, aquatint)
– Lithography
– Screen printing (serigraphy)
– Monotype & monoprint
– Collagraph

Let’s show the North Country just how powerful ink and pressure can be.
