City Editions

Hi!

The semester has started and things are getting exciting at City College! Some students from our program are working on a great printmaking project with artist Nicola Lopez. The program, City Editions, was started by Megan Foster, a fabulous painter and printmaker who's been a master printer for lots of artists you've heard of, and this is the second year the program is editioning prints with a visiting artist.

It's really fun!

Here are some pictures.

PS The CCNY Studio Art MFA program deadline has been extended to Feb 15th because of magical glitches in the whole CUNY system, you should apply! It's totally awesome!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! This period of time between fall and spring semesters has been a great opportunity to reflect on the last semester, start on some new ideas for next semester, and take advantage of uninterrupted studio time!!!

Thanks to all who came out for our Open Studios event in November, we had a great turnout! The Silent Auction was a huge success; almost every piece found a new home! Proceeds are being used to help us purchase important studio equipment and supplies. The Open Studios event was a great way to bring the fall semester to a close. We are looking forward to a busy and productive spring semester. Stay tuned for Thesis Show announcements for our graduating second year students!

Happy 2013 to all!

For those who couldn't make it, here's a peek at what the auction looked like:
