California Society of Printmakers (CSP) and Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) are proud to present the 110th Annual Membership Exhibition. This exhibition features the work of over one hundred member artists throughout California, and across the world. The artwork on view highlights a broad range of techniques from traditional to experimental, showcasing the many possibilities printmaking has to offer to create beautiful works of art. Join us for several exhibition events on October 31, November 2, November 3, and December 5, where we will host receptions, a printmaking demonstration, artist talk, and workshop!
Presenting member prints in this beautiful space is only one aspect of our collaboration with SRJC. We are grateful to receive the tremendous assistance of students, staff and faculty – with special thanks to CSP member and SRJC Art Department Chair, Hannah Skoonberg, along with Tara Bogart, Christopher Woodcock and the gallery studies students.
Another highlight is our partnership with printmakers Courtney Sennish and April Vollmer!
Courtney Sennish, a contemporary printmaker and sculptor, trained Master Printer from Crown Point Press, and co-founder of Moonlight Press. We have the great fortune to present a demonstration during the Artist Reception, as well as a one-day intaglio workshop on the SRJC campus – both available to the public. April Vollmer has specialized in mokuhanga, Japanese woodcut, since she visited Japan with the Nagasawa Art Park Program in 2004. Her book on the history and contemporary use of Mokuhanga, Japanese Woodblock Print Workshop was released by Watson-Guptill in 2015.
