A Century of Printmaking in Colorado

The exhibit "A Century of Printmaking in Colorado" is now on display at DIA in the southeast corner of the 5th level. The exhibit gives a brief summary of printmaking over the past century in Colorado and describes the contributions made by various institutions and individuals.

The seeds for the exhibit were planted in January 2015 as I was traveling through Denver International Airport. As a volunteer for the Month of Printmaking event scheduled for March 2016, I was constantly on the hunt for ways to promote the month long event. The Community Glass Cases by the new Westin Hotel seemed such a wonderful opportunity to promote and develop awareness of the long history printmaking has had in Colorado.

The six glass cabinets give a brief summary of printmaking  in Colorado over the past century, describing the contributions made by various institutions and individuals.  Located at the well traveled southeast corner of baggage claim area, each glass cabinet is divided into two displays by an interior plexi panel. Each of the twelve panels focuses on a decade, highlighting two or three printmakers for that decade. The exhibit will be on display from March to June 2016.
