About the Show
20/20
March 6, 2010
To celebrate its 20th year, the CPC is throwing the doors open to reveal the way printmakers go at their plates and stones and screens and woodblocks to produce the fine images that make this medium so intriguing. Demonstrations on the presses will abound, and visitors will be invited to participate in the experience of what itüs like to be immersed in a real, working printmaking workshop. The accompanying exhibition will highlight 20 CPC artists who have kept this vibrant workshop alive and inkin' throughout the past 2 decades.
This event is a featured program with Studio Chicago, a year long project developed by the Dept of Cultural Affairs to showcase the ways artists create in their respective studio environments. For more information, visit www.studiochicago.org Core Studio Chicago partners include: Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, Columbia College Chicago, DePaul University, Gallery 400, Hyde Park Art Center, Museum of Contemporary Art, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and threewalls.

The Exquisite Matrix: A Collaborative Print Series
October 4, 2009
Inspired by the idea of the "exquisite corpse" and it's role in the interactive spirit of printmaking, this exhibit features a collaboration among Chicago print artists, resulting in images that involve many independent visions inspired by a series of words passed along from artist to artist. It reads sort of like a visual game of "telephone". A wide variety of printmaking media has been utilized. Demonstrations are being prepared on October 4th that will invite the public to get their own hands dirty and see what's so dang groovy about this inky medium. This event is FREE and OPEN to the public.
Exhibiting Artists: Susanna Crum, Dan Grzeca, Susan Hall, Bianca Juarez, Deborah Maris Lader, Kim Laurel, Duffy O'Connor, Dennis O'Malley, Mary O'Shaughnessy, Megan Sterling, Charlie Van Gilder.
