The organization supports and works to forward contemporary fine art printmaking through exhibitions, professional development and educational programs that promote the creation, appreciation and collection of original artists’ prints by professional and emerging printmakers. Its membership includes practicing artists, patrons and collectors from the Pacific Northwest as well as from throughout North America.

More than 30 artists are represented in the show, including OSU Professor of Printmaking Yuji Hiratsuka.
