About

Join artists Marianne Sadowski (July and August) and Victor Rosas (September) for a live printmaking demonstration and explore the materials and techniques behind one of the oldest forms of printmaking: the traditional woodcut and its modern counterpart, the linocut. Discover how these relief processes inspire artists today. This free, drop-in program is produced in partnership with Self Help Graphics & Art.

Victor Rosas

Artist

Victor Rosas is a self-taught printmaker from Veracruz, Mexico. His exploration of materials and techniques produces images that question the roles that humans play in society. Violence, hate, greed, envy, and fear are some of the themes he focuses on. His avant-garde approach to image making is the result of his love for past cultures and contemporary art.
