More info: www.pica.org
Over 100 local artists will spend the day pulling fresh monoprints from the presses at PICA's temporary printmaking studio. This year, we introduce new sizes and prices to the evening sale-prints are available for $50-$250, and all proceeds benefit PICA's artistic programs. Snag a one-of-a-kind artwork from a local legend or fall in love with a piece by a bright new talent.
Prints for PICA was founded in 2003 by artist Stephen Hayes as a way for artists to support PICA without straining their bank accounts or artwork inventories. Hayes wanted to create a new kind of fundraiser that would teach artists the basics of printmaking-a process he loved. As a bonus, when other organizations solicited artwork for their auctions or benefits, artists would be able to donate prints made on a free studio day, and not have to pillage works from their inventory.
The event has grown to include the work of over 100 local artists, ranging the gamut from students to emerging exhibitors to well-regarded and established makers. Prints for PICA is an annual social occasion for the local art community, bringing together artists for a day of camaraderie and creative exchange.
This year’s artists include: Abra Ancliffe, James Archer, Ray Anthony Barrett, Amy Bernstein, Pat Boas, Derek Bourcier, Christine Bourdette, John Brodie, Will Bruno, Christopher Buckingham, Wayne Bund, Nolan Calisch, Bruce Conkle, David Corbett, Matthew Courtway, Posie Currin, Dana Dart-McLean Melia Donovan, Liam Drain, Jenn Feeney, Damien Gilley, Renny Gleeson, Daniel J Glendening, Sam Guerrero, Bryson Hanson, Stephen Hayes, Jesse Hayward, Yuji Hiratsuka, Deborah Horrell, Linda Hutchins, Sara Kacvinsky, Vanessa Kauffman, Gina Keough, Beth Kerschen, Chris Lael Larson, Cynthia Lahti, Tina Lange, Kendra Larson, Michael Lazarus, Jen Lorentzen, Dana Lynn Louis, Alex Mackin Dolan, Victor Maldonado, Mack McFarland, Michael McGovern, Rachael Miller, Jenene Nagy, Melody Owen, Bonnie Paisley, Michael Parich, William Park, Trude Parkinson, Brittany Powell, MaryAnn Puls, Kyle Raquipiso, Kent Richardson, Morgan A Ritter, Catherine Rondthaler, Ben Rosenberg, Calvin Ross Carl, Amy Ruppel, Jack Ryan, Blair Saxon-Hill, Stephen Slappe, Ashley Sloan, Stephanie Snyder, Krystal South, Rory Sparks, Raf Spielman, Anya Spielman, Jason Sturgill, Gary Sweet, Joe Thurston, Everett Vangsnes, Samantha Wall, Valerie Wallace, Heather Watkins, Jacob Wilkinson, Christy Wyckoff, and more to come!
