The Brandywine Workshop, in cooperation with Projects Gallery, is pleased to present “Print Out”, a two-part, two-month exhibition of prints by culturally diverse artists. For the month of December the main gallery will display original prints by established artists such as Samella Lewis, Tomie Arai, Juan Sanchez, Yung Soon Min, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland, and Paul F. Keene, Jr. In January focus will be on recent prints by African American artists such as Hank Willis Thomas, Deborah Willis, John E. Dowell, Jr., Allan L. Edmunds, Larry Walker, Maya Freelon Asante, and William T. Williams. For both months there will also be a special interactive installation of quality, affordable original prints from Brandywine Workshop artists featured in the rear gallery. Prints by national and international artists will be available at deep discounts to raise funds to benefit Brandywine's capital campaign and gallery operations. As part of the exhibition’s mission to promote printmaking and its potential as an expressive medium, “Print Out” will present a series of free children’s workshops and family days. Families are encouraged to introduce their children to the media of print though the exhibition and hands-on learning activities. Volunteer printmaking majors from the PAFA will lead children (3-12 years of age) in relief printmaking. In addition to creating art to take home, examples of the children’s prints will be displayed at the gallery during “Print Out”. The experience of creating and exhibiting original prints in an established art gallery will be one to be enjoyed by the entire family. Each free session is limited to 6 children, and pre-registration by phone (215.546.3675) is required. The following schedule of activities is planned: There will also be a First Friday Opening Reception, December 4, 2009, from 6-9 PM, and a Third Friday Closing Reception, January 15, 2010, from 6-9 PM. Both receptions are free and open to the public. Projects Gallery will be CLOSED December 20th, 2009 - January 5, 2010 for the holidays. The show concludes Saturday, January 30, 2010. |
