About the exhibition:

✨The Latest Edition 2026✨ showcases 9 emerging artists who use printmaking as a means of questioning
and discovery. For each artist, meaning emerges through process. Initial ideas, Images, and concepts
concerning nuanced themes of self, interconnection, and change have transformed slowly through the
materiality, repetition, and layering that is characteristic of printmedia–allowing depth of understanding to
surface.
