This exhibition is a survey of some of the most outstanding
examples of small prints being made in the United States today. Held annually in January, it honors the belief in and
commitment to the art of contemporary printmaking. The exhibition runs through Friday, Feb. 17. The exhibition, the
catalog, and the reception are free and open to the public.
Each year a well-known professional in the field of printmaking is asked to place his or her mark on this series by
determining which works will be included. This year, Roberta Waddell, a most distinguished juror, selected the 2012
exhibition. Her expertise in printmaking has been well established through her positions at Worcester Art Museum
and the Toledo Museum of Art and, most recently, as Curator of Prints (now Emerita) at the New York Public Library.
The library collection, which she oversaw for 23 years, contains close to 200,000 original prints.
Four of the 60 artists seen in the show are from Arkansas—they are Dustyn Bork from Batesville; Melissa Gill and
Aj Smith from Little Rock, and John Salvest from Jonesboro. There were also several international entries this year.
One foreign artist, Canadian Heather Huston, was included.
