New Intern!

Hello everyone!  My name is Cait Driscoll and I'm from the NW Suburbs of Chicago.  I recently graduated from Northeastern Illinois University where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art with a focus in Printmaking. My primary concentrations within printmaking are silkscreen, monotype, etching and relief processes. I plan to attend graduate school for a Master's Degree in Fine Art with the ultimate goal of becoming a professor of art. I have always been drawn to the wide range of printmaking processes available and learning everything possible to expand my knowledge in the creative world of printmaking. I'm very excited to be a part of the CPC Community, and I look forward to meeting everyone involved!

Chris and Cait! The newest interns at the Chicago Printmakers Collaborative.
...At least before Deborah gets to them.

NEW INTERN!!

CHRIS BLUME THE BRAND NEW INTERN!!

Hi all! My name is Chris Blume and I came from a printmaking background hailing from Northern Illinois University. I am excited to meet all of the wonderful printmakers who currently work here at CPC as well as meeting new comers. I have just moved to Chicago but I am not a virgin to a big city.
I work mainly in Lithography yet I can do all other printmaking mediums. So, come on in and say hi!

23rd Annual International Small Print Show

So, because the 23rd Annual International Small Print Show was such a smash hit, we replaced all the sold prints with new ones, and hope you'll continue to come by to view and shop through the month of January.

This show has been freakingly successful - CPC got hits on all the news outlets, including plugs on WFMT and in the Chicago Reader, and high ratings on Reddit.com. Then, everyone told their friends to come. Crazy! The artists and interns and staff at CPC are grateful to each of you who came out to see our stuff, even if you only came for the hot cider. Wishing you the best in the new year...see you soon!

Our gallery hours are:

Friday & Saturday 12-5

AND BY APPOINTMENT

(and truly, we are happy to meet when it's convenient for you!)

A few new things just came in, from Paris and Mexico:

Meet our new interns, Patrick and Eunji. 

HELLO!!! I’m Patrick Herndon

 I am from the Chicagoland area, from the suburb of La Grange. This is my first year back and living in the city, and I'm really looking forward to exploring what great things the city can offer a young artist. I missed Chicago while I was the good ol' deep South so I’m back and ready to get to work. My focuses are printmaking, painting and installation at SAIC. My specialties in printmaking are lithography and relief.

Hi, I am Eunji Kim. 

It is a great pleasure to meet you all. I am a ‘legal’ alien from Korea, and I came to the US in 2007. Chicago is my second home in the US. I just graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August 2012, majoring in Art and Biology, and moved to Chicago this past month. I love to work with wood, ceramics and a few types of plastics, both in a sculptural and in a two-dimensional way. As a just toddler printmaker, I am in love with the relief printmaking process. Because of this, there should be so many exciting things to learn from the artists at CPC, and I am happily looking forward to meeting you!

C.P.C. + Zygote!

Two amazing print shops in two great cities, Chicago Printmakers Collaborative and Zygote Press in Cleveland, have joined forces for an intern swap! The Collaborative have sent our very own Megan Sterling in exchange for the very talented Anne Kibbe of Zygote. For the next two weeks both interns will embark on special projects, assist in workshops, and excel in overall awesomeness! Stay tuned for more...
