The exhibition features selected items from our MCAD MFA print portfolios. Each yeah of the graduate program we had the chance to participate in a print exchange with the other grad students. There were no real restrictions beyond size, but use of traditional Printmaking methods were encouraged including intaglio, serigraphy, lithography, and more. Many of the photographers who participated chose to do archival inkjet prints on heavy water color paper which was equally as tactile and beautiful.
It was a fantastic opportunity, not only share work with each other, but in the end the collections were purchased by Target Corp. (they actually have a huge art collection), Weisman Art Museum, and of course MCAD.
