This symposium will support new critical ideas and research about printmaking. The morning session features graduate students speaking about dissertation research. The afternoon panel centers on the relationship between the technical choices made by printmakers, printers, or publishers in order to rethink the connections between process, material, and meaning in the graphic arts. Afternoon speakers include: Iris Moon (Pratt Institute), Thomas Primeau (Baltimore Museum of Art), Ad Stijnman (Herzog August Library), Yelizaveta Sorokin (Harvard Art Museums), Anne Verplanck (Penn State University), Claire Whitner (Davis Museum at Wellesley College), and Elizabeth Wyckoff (Saint Louis Art Museum).

A more detailed schedule is forthcoming.

You may come for all or part of the day, as your schedule permits. Although not required, we would appreciate your advance registration for the event in order to estimate attendance (click on "external link" below).

The Inaugural Symposium of the Association of Print Scholars is the first event of a two-part series held in collaboration with Ars Graphica. The series, entitled "New Impressions: Emerging Research on Prints," aims to shed light on innovative research currently being completed around the globe about the graphic arts. The second part of the series, sponsored by Ars Graphica, will take place in Spring 2016 at the Instituto Centrale per la Grafica in Rome and will feature the theme "Curating graphic arts! Le arti grafiche al museo."
