America Today: Voices in Contemporary Print
April 24 – July 25, 2026
The Print Center
1614 Latimer Street, Philadelphia, PA
America Today: Voices in Contemporary Print, is a groundbreaking exhibition that brings together contemporary artworks from six mission-based printshops across the US, reflecting on the state of American democracy. Organized at the nation’s 250th anniversary, the exhibition illuminates the connections between printmaking and issues of civic life. In addition, the project comprises public programs, partner convenings and a publication.
The title America Today, refers back to a significant New Deal-era print exhibition of the same name. Both exhibitions highlight new voices in American printmaking that advocate for a consequential form of cultural democracy, with works varied in subject and style, and expansive in their ability to reflect the politics of communities nationwide.
The exhibition includes recent prints from six workshops: Brandywine Workshop, Philadelphia, PA; Coronado printstudio, Austin, TX; Crow’s Shadow Institute for the Arts, Pendleton, OR; EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, New York, NY; Self Help Graphics & Art, Los Angeles, CA; and the Women’s Studio Workshop, Kingston, NY.
Deadline: August 9, 2026 11:59pm EST
Residency Dates: January 26th - April 30th, 2027
EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop is pleased to announce the Studio Immersion Project Fellowship.
This intensive fellowship is designed to introduce artists from multiple disciplines to printmaking.
