MGC Community Print Studio
a studio membership for printmakers
Our building’s newest membership-based studio supports the learning and practice of fine art printmaking. This affordable, inclusive, professional studio space welcomes a community of printmakers at all stages of artistic development. Fabrication services in a range of print processes are also available.
MGC Community Print Studio supports the learning and practice of fine art printmaking by providing an affordable, inclusive, professional studio space, where a community of printmakers at all stages of artistic development can create and present their work. To encourage greater appreciation of printmaking, we offer classes in traditional and experimental techniques; fellowships; artist talks; and outreach to public school students; as well as exhibitions. As the community counterpart to PHA’s Printshop, MGC Community Print Studio complements PHA’s existing print fabrication services and also serves as a teaching and learning lab, adding facilities and expert practitioners in intaglio, relief, and lithography processes, as well as screen printing. In this new chapter MGC is part of an expanded creative ecosystem, while staying true to its roots as a dynamic, affordable community studio.
