Selections from the Master Print Series

May 11–September, 2007
President’s Gallery

The Master Print Series Program has been in existence since 1993. Artists are invited to produce original prints in collaboration with MassArt printmaking faculty and students. This program gives students an opportunity to observe professional artists at work and to actively participate in the complex procedure of transforming ideas into quality prints. The artists are in residence during the collaboration and the myriad activities of strategy, matrix preparation, proofing, editioning and curating are a team effort. The finished works produced are divided equally between the artist and the school. Each student who participates in the project receives a Printer’s Proof. Prints sold from Mass Art’s archives cover the production expenses and are an essential and major component of funds donated towards student merit awards in the 2D Department.

Gallery hours: Mon.–Fri., 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; Sat., 11 a.m.–5 p.m.
