Art Now: Printmaking

Art Now: Printmaking is a juried exhibition open to artists over 18 who currently reside in the US. The exhibition highlights artists employing traditional printmaking processes as well as those using print as a foundation while working across disciplines, with an emphasis on investigative and exploratory approaches to the printed image. This is the third annual exhibition in the Ann Arbor Art Center's Art Now Series, which presents media-focused exhibitions on a rotating basis.
