International Print Center New York was established in Chelsea in September 2000 as the first and only non-profit institution devoted solely to the exhibition and understanding of fine art prints. IPCNY fosters a climate for enjoyment, examination and serious study of artists' prints from the old master to the contemporary. IPCNY nurtures the growth of new audiences for the visual arts while serving the print community through exhibitions, publications, and educational programs.

IPCNY celebrates the art of the print by:

• establishing a permanent venue for the exhibition of artists' prints;
• organizing and touring major print exhibitions;
• creating access to a wide selection of new work through an
  ongoing series of new prints shows;
• offering information services and educational programs focused on the
  art and technique of printmaking.
