“Expanding the Field; New Ideas in and Beyond Print” should not be missed!!

Opening at the Triton Museum of Art, August 30, 2025, 2-4pm,

Exhibition runs Aug 30–January 11, 2026.

“Yes, the art of printmaking, the clean margins, the perfect registration are all important and still part of a practice involving large scale and 3D pieces, but the art of filling a space with print outside of the frame is exhilarating and inspiring. Much progress as a printmaker can be made outside of a comfort zone. I always feel that if an artwork I created changed me as a person and as an artist, it was worth it.“
—Monique Martin, Juror.

Special thanks go to CSP exhibition co-chair, Kevin Harris for his inexhaustible drive and vision in designing this exhibit. Thank you Susanna Harris for jumping into the project mid-stream and joining the team as our new exhibition co-chair. You both have shown deep care and support for each participant and the unique needs of each artwork! What a beautiful survey of the boundless possibilities of printmaking!
