Madison Print Club

Madison Print Club The Madison Print Club was born in a conversation between Tom Haig and Cham Hendon late in the afternoon of October 6, 1971. Mr.

The Madison Print Club is an organization with 120 members with a mission to promote the development and appreciation of prints, printmaking and print collecting in the Madison, Wisconsin community. Haig, who had been a member of the Cleveland Print Club since 1945, suggested many Madison people might be interested in a similar club. Hendon, then Director of the Madison Art Center, agreed and cont

acted prospective members for a meeting the following week. Enthusiasm for a Madison print club spread quickly at the first meeting. There are now 120 members of the Madison Print Club. The four purposes of membership are:
-Sponsoring educational activities related to prints, printmaking and print collecting.
-Sponsoring exhibitions of prints and printmaking.
-Adding to the Madison Art Center’s print collection.
-Commissioning an annual presentation print to provide members with examples of printmaking techniques and artistry.

Temporary paintings on plywood covering windows have turned the street into a pop-up gallery that is drawing crowds and making a statement in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing.

The Madison Print Club mourns the loss of Tom Haig. Not only did he help found the Bartell theatre, he introduced the idea of the print club to Cham Hendon, then the director of the Madison Art Center. He and the entire Haig family have been strong supporters of the Madison Print Club throughout the years and have left us a lasting legacy. May we carry it on!

Madison actor Tom Haig, who helped found The Bartell Theatre, the hub of local community theater, and performed there at age 93, died March 22 at 99.

At the end of March in Madison it’s like every day is a completely different weather system, reminiscent of Mickie Meyers 2010 Lamoille Project completed for the MPC, were every monotype from the same view in Vermont looks strikingly different.

Driving east on Route 15 toward the Green Mountains reveals a series of increasingly stunning vistas. But most people would miss the spot that took artist Mickey Myers’ breath away: the view of Sterling Ridge behind the Lehouillier farm, between Jeffersonville and Johnson. Standing in her friend I...
