Happening now at Oliver Art Center!
"Beyond the Print" opening reception in the Fisher Room, from 4-6pm. Meet Jen Kritcher and Jim Shrier, two of the artists involved in this printmaking exhibition on pushing the procedural boundaries on the art form.

What happens once the print is pulled? Hand coloring with wartercolor/pastel/inks, blind embossing, stencils, or cutting and pasting as collage are just some of the ways these artists are experimenting with techniques and materials.
