Forty-five years of printmaking at UMaine on display now in Lord Hall
A collection of fine art proofs and prints created in the printmaking studio at the University of Maine are on display in the Department of Art’s Lord Hall Gallery. “The Teaching Portfolio: 45 Years of Printmaking at the University of Maine” will run through Oct. 24 with a public reception on Sept. 26 from 5-7 p.m.
The collection includes work by students, alumni, faculty and visiting artists over a span of 45 years and under the direction of professor of art Susan Groce. It represents how print media has changed and how UMaine’s printmaking studio has adopted new technology to make traditional practices safer and more environmentally sound.
Curated by Groce and Director of Galleries Diana Baumbach, the exhibition includes collagraphs, several types of 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.
Support for this event was provided by the McGillicuddy Humanities Center.
