“4th Street Print Exhibition” invites you to explore the many ways artists can transform an idea through the process of printmaking. Bringing together artists working across a range of techniques and approaches, the exhibition celebrates the variety, experimentation, and unexpected outcomes that make printmaking so compelling. It can be a fine art practice, a tool for storytelling and personal expression, a means of political and social commentary, or a way of sharing ideas with a wider audience. From traditional techniques to experimental processes, printmaking has long connected art with communication, community, and everyday life.

“4th Street Print Exhibition” features work by Alex Velázquez Brightbill, Andrea Williams, Anna Wagner, Atlan Arceo-Witzel, Brandon Johnson, Carlos Barbenera, Carol Estes, Carolyn Lelek, Colin May, Corey Hagelberg, David Tvaroha, Dawn Diamantopoulos, Georgia Geis, Ida Short, Kaitlyn Stancy, Laurel Izard, Laurie Rousseau, Lucas Cordes, Melissa Washburn, Ramiro Rodriguez, Sarah Mueller, and Steve Garst.
