ABOUT

Mandate
As an artist run centre, the Print Studio's mission is to create a professional print media environment for practicing artists and the community at large with integrative production, presentation, arts education and community programming.

"Dedicated to promoting print media in contemporary
artistic discourse and to the community at large."


 

Art

Our vision is intrinsically linked to the philosophy of “access to the arts” for all members of our community and support for artists as cultural workers. The ecology of our artistic vision – connecting print media to contemporary art, education and community – is the key to our success.

The Print Studio’s artistic vision is implemented through our gallery exhibitions by guest and member artists, our professional development workshops and lectures, and our outreach, education and public engagement activities. In the critical framework of a post-medium artistic era, we locate print media at the intersection of historical processes and new practices.

Education

The Print Studio is driven by the belief that everyone has the potential to be creative and the ability to express themselves visually.

Our educational goal is to engage and empower children, youth, and adults through the visual arts. The Print Studio’s instructional workshops in printmaking for all age groups support traditional skills development, as well as exploration of new directions. Through the Art Education Program, The Print Studio hires artists from our studio membership base who have an interest in teaching and mentoring. Arts Education builds an appreciation of the importance of art and culture within the educational community.

Community

The Print Studio’s community arts vision is to connect and collaborate with local community groups and organizations via creative experience.

Through the production and presentation of community-engaged, process-driven artistic work, artists and community members work together to express their unique identities.
