Education for the general public

Through the participation of artists, master printers and curators in gallery and studio talks, IPCNY generates a lively dialogue on the subject of prints and printmaking.

In November 2009, IPCNY organized IPCNY TALKS, a series of 8 artist and printmaker talks at the Editions/Artists' Books fair at the X-Initiative space in Chelsea. To view a complete schedule of the Program for IPCNY TALKS, free and open to the public, click here. Click here for images.

Information resources are available to the public at IPCNY, as well as on-line, including biographical and technical information about the artists and works on view in the gallery, and listings of print shows and workshop opportunities.

Weekly lectures offered free to the public were organized by IPCNY at The AXA Gallery during the New York presentation of Hard Pressed, IPCNY's Inaugural Exhibition. Tours of the Exhibition were offered to school children in a special outreach program developed in co-operation with the New York City Board of Education.

Educational visits to workshops, exhibitions, fairs, and artists' studios are also offered as part of IPCNY's membership program. A young members' group, the 6:45 Print Club was offered in 2001, offers a series of programs designed to increase familiarity with the techniques of printmaking and knowledge of print purchasing and collecting.

Internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students are available ar IPCNY and pursued in partnership with other institutions.

Education for School Groups

 

The New York City Department of Education's arts curriculum Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts identifies Printmaking as one of the seven arts that students are required to learn about. IPCNY offers educational programs aligned with The Blueprint for elementary, middle and high school classes, to help your students expand their visual literacy skills.

During the 2009-2010 school year, IPCNY offered The Future Printmakers' Workshop which was designed to engage students in the study of prints and printmaking. The workshop was tailored to the class level of the students attending.

Highlights of IPCNY's workshops were as follows:

  • Brief introduction to the organization and to the New York printmaking community
  • Exhibition tour
  • "What is a Print?", an explanation of printmaking techniques and practices
  • Hands-on art project
  • Screening of an excerpt from Lasting Impressions, a PBS program about Robert Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop
  • Print demonstration by a professional working artist

Teachers are welcome to make an appointment to bring their students to the IPCNY Gallery whenever an exhibition is on view, before or during gallery hours (11 am - 6 pm)
