Founded in 1992 by artists James Lavadour and Phillip Cash Cash, Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts (CSIA) has become one of the leading art centers for Native American printmaking. Its world-class print studio offers a prestigious residency program that has hosted artists such as Raven Chacon, Jeffrey Gibson, Wendy Red Star, James Luna, Kay WalkingStick, and Marie Watt, among others, and whose editions are held in museum collections such as the Portland Art Museum, Wellin Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Library of Congress, and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Over the last 30 years, in addition to its work in printmaking, CSIA has evolved its mission to boast an impressive array of educational, social, and economic development programs, including community-driven workshops for Native and Indigenous Traditional Arts such as basket making, beading, and the crafting of horse regalia.

Turning a Curiosity into a Collection: Mark Baron & Elise Boisanté on Hindu God Prints (28 May 2022)
More than twenty years ago, Mark Baron and Elise Boisanté took a fortuitous trip to India, where they were struck by a vibrant print culture. From private homes to taxi dashboards and advertisements, they encountered ephemeral prints of Hindu gods imbedded everywhere in daily life and devotional practice. Since then, Mark and Elise have sought to trace the origins of these prints, assembling a world-class collection and establishing themselves as preeminent experts in the field. They have likewise been instrumental in forming collections of devotional Hindu prints in several museums and in bolstering scholarly interest of the works in both India and the U.S.
Join APS Event Coordinator Benjamin Levy as he led a conversation with Mark and Elise about their collection and the history of Hindu god prints.

Looking Back on the New York Graphic Workshop, 1964 1970 (13 October 2021. )
This panel considers the work and legacy of the New York Graphic Workshop, a printmaking collective operative from 1964 to 1970. Together, printmakers Luis Camnitzer (b.1937), José Guillermo Castillo (1938-1999), and Liliana Porter (b. 1941) devoted themselves to producing conceptual pieces indebted to printmaking and its labor-intensive processes. Even as they were committed to traditional methods, the NYGW often bent lithography, etching, and engraving away from their conventions, toward new questions, problems, and ideas. As Camnitzer stated in 1966: “We are printmakers conditioned but not destroyed by our techniques.”
