Current Exhibition
The Teaching Portfolio: 45 Years of Printmaking at the University of Maine
August 27-October 24, 2025
Reception: September 26, 5-7pm
The Teaching Portfolio is a collection of fine art working proofs and finished prints created in the UMaine printmaking studio by students, alumni, faculty, and visiting artists. Covering a time span of 45 years, under the direction of printmaking Professor Susan Groce, this portfolio represents an impressive overview of the direction and growth of print media and the University of Maine printmaking studio program – from traditional materials and processes to the safer and greener processes and the incorporation of new technologies. The portfolio includes Collagraphs, Etchings and Acrylic Resist Etchings, Photopolymer Intaglio-Type Etchings, Lithography, Relief Printing, Water-Based Screen Printing, and Monoprints, as well as prints made through the Printmaking Artist Residency Program and Student Portfolio Exchanges. This exhibition represents a small portion of the Portfolio, as curated by Professor Susan Groce and Director of Galleries Diana Baumbach.
Additional information about the Printmaking at the University of Maine is available at https://umaine.edu/art/printmaking/. Additional support for this event was provided by the McGillicuddy Humanities Center.
