Ten
nationally and internationally known print artists will come to the University
of Wisconsin-Stevens Point to create art for the biennial “Monoprint 2015: A
Gathering of Artists” event.
The
workshop will be held from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily May 21-28 in the Noel Fine
Arts Center Printmaking Studio (Room 183) and is open to the public and school
groups for viewing. Artists will create their prints with assistance from art
and design students. At the end of the week, two prints will be chosen
from each artist to be professionally framed.
The
framed prints will be sold at the Gala Print Sale and Exhibition Thursday, May
28, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Carlsten Gallery at the Noel Fine Arts Center.
All proceeds will benefit the Department of Art and Design’s printmaking
program. All are welcome to view and bid on the prints, which are $300 each.
The
artists will include UW-Stevens Point alumnus Shawn Ganther, Ina Kaur, Mark
Ritchie, Jenny Robinson, Andy Rubin, Yvette Pino, Tracy Templeton, Quian Zhao
and Art and Design Department faculty members Bob Erickson, Rob Stolzer and
Kristin Thielking.
