About Us

WHO WE ARE

Printmaking Legacy Project ® preserves and disseminates the legacy, history, practice and understanding of the fine art of printmaking to the national and international arts community, students and to the general public. The project documents the collaboration among universities, workshops and professional print studios and how their participants fundamentally changed the course of development in American printmaking and American art. 

WHAT WE DO

Through fundraising efforts and your support, Printmaking Legacy Project® bridges the gap between the founders of American printmaking, to those working in printmaking today, young artists, students and the general public, by creating public programs such as:

Lectures & workshops

Artist documentaries

Printmaking exhibitions

Archival interviews
