Screenprint Biennial 2016
The Screenprint Biennial is set to return to Troy this October at sites around the city:
+ The Arts Center of the Capital Region and Collar Works Gallery will have opening receptions for screenprint exhibits October 28. The work of 35 artists from around the world will be on display. The exhibits will be on display through December 23.
+ The Oakwood Community Center will be hosting a temporary site-specific screenprint-based artwork by Ian Cozzens.
+ A symposium October 29 will include artists from around the country talking about trends in screen printing. Also scheduled: a talk by Josh MacPhee, an expert in political graphics.
All events are free and open to the public.
The organizer of the Screenprint Biennial is Nathan Meltz, an artist and RPI faculty member. As he told Lauren ahead of the first biennial in 2014, the idea behind the event is to celebrate the artistic side of the widely-used medium and showcase many of the different paths this artform can take.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

This is so exciting! Loved Ian Cozzens work in Providence. Are there just exhibits, or also works for sale?

Jenna, there won't be any big stand-alone print sales, but much of the work exhibited will be for sale.
