Nationally recognized for its professional excellence, the Printmaking Area is devoted to developing diverse and exceptional artist-printmakers. Its mission is to create an environment promoting critical dialogues that investigate contemporary art issues as well as the process of creating art.

The Printmaking Area is committed to encouraging self-exploration as artists and experimentation within a broad range of print media that includes lithography, screenprinting, relief, intaglio, monotype, digital print, post-digital technologies, letterpress and papermaking.
