Print Forum
Since its inception in 1980, Print Forum has maintained a diverse and engaged membership of print and drawing enthusiasts, collectors, dealers, artists, and students.
The group sponsors public lectures by art historians, artists, master printers, dealers, collectors, and publishers; private workshops on connoisseurship and printmaking techniques; and member field trips to exhibitions, artists’ studios, and private collections. The organization also offers opportunities to help build your personal collection. The focus varies for each event and covers a wide range of interests, from Old Master to modern and contemporary works on paper. Further, Print Forum is proud to provide support for acquisitions of prints, drawings, and artists’ books for the Museum’s Collection.
