Refreshments
Demonstrations
Print sale
The Women Printmakers of Austin will be launching the new book which illustrates the annual trade portfolios of the past 14 years, Passion of Art: Fourteen Years of Printmaking. Meet members of WPA whose work is illustrated in the book. See book and printmaking demonstrations. There will be copies of the book, as well as prints by members, for sale at the event. Every year the WPA sponsors the trade portfolio, which is a set of prints created by participating members, developed around a theme chosen by members at one of the monthly meetings. Each participant creates an edition of prints, which are then exchanged and the participant receives a set of prints, one from each edition of the other artists. Several extra prints are part of the edition and are donated to the sponsoring organizations for sale and exhibition.

Women Printmakers of Austin is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division and by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
