Demystifying Process, is a month-long exhibition curated by PVDPrintmakers. Despite the accessibility offered by printmaking, both in its ability to endlessly reproduce images and the direct process of creating an impression, the practice tends to have an air of mystery. Using the vibrant printmaking community in Rhode Island as examples, this exhibition pulls back the curtain on a wide range of processes. Materials, presses, blocks and plates are displayed alongside prints, celebrating every step of the printmaking process while highlighting the often unseen act of making.
PVDPrintmakers is a community organization supporting printmakers and encouraging the practice of printmaking throughout Rhode Island. Originally beginning as an online platform to share artwork from active artists in the area, it has since transformed into a network connecting artists to new opportunities, to each other, and promoting printmaking education. Offline adventures have included free art supply swaps, three zine publications, and annual print trades. PVDPrintmakers is organized by Sam Nehila and Mason Kelly.
