PrintSpin is a print and paper project that takes a light-hearted look at wind energy, engaging the public by showcasing printmaking techniques and three-dimensional design. The Alliance challenges printmakers, especially students, to get involved as advocates for clean energy and for printmaking. Carol Pulin, director of the American Print Alliance, is available for workshops. Soap Box Prints 2: Prints, Politics & Democracy |
Our current traveling exhibition shows how prints express the rights and responsibilities of democracy and inspire people to defend freedoms, serve in elected office, vote, demonstrate and take part in political life. The exhibition itself demonstrates that prints can be an influential part of the democratic process. The exhibit is traveling: please help us find additional venues, so we can demonstrate to the world how printmakers advocate for democracy. |
