The 21st Mini Print International is a juried exhibition of prints no larger than 4”x4”. A maximum of Four (4) original prints in any traditional or contemporary graphic process, including computer generated prints, are accepted. The Exhibition has been held bi-annually since 1985 and was founded and directed by Bev McLean who sought to challenge artists and provide an affordable form in which international art could be brought together. The Ink Shop began organizing this exciting exhibit starting with 16th Mini Print International. Our recent Mini Print shows have attracted artists from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Thailand, as well as many artists from the United States.

This year we combine our Print Sale with the 2st Mini Print Exhibit. Our collection of prints is extensive and represents some of the best printmakers around. Both the Ink Shop Print Sale and the Mini Print Exhibit prints are excellent and make great gifts. We are always encouraging people to support the Arts by buying more Art! All Mini Print purchases can also be taken home the evening of the December 3rd reception or anytime afterwards.  

Opening Reception February 11th, 5-8pm
The Ink shop is proud to present Ghost Collective by the 2021-2022 Kahn Family Fellow, Julianne Hunter. The work included in this exhibition draws directly from the basic longing to creating a sense of community and to foster relationships through collecting evidence of missed connections. The print shop is a collaborative space where one is a part of a select group of makers that pass down the knowledge of their skills. In the age of Covid-19, our ways of connecting with each other have been tested in unimaginable ways. Ghost Collective challenges contemporary limitations as opportunities for investigation, reflection and meditation. Common objects, familial relics, and discarded visual remnants are used to create forensic proof within the works, translated through screenprint, papermaking, cyanotype, and monotype.

April 1 - May 27, 2022Reception  May 6th, 5-8pm The Ink Shop acknowledges Ithaca College and Cornell University’s excellent printmaking departments and the exceptional student work being produced. We are excited to bring student printmakers together at The Ink Shop for this show curated by Greg Page and Julianne Hunter of Cornell, and Patricia Hunsinger […]

Mirage features a series of images that combine monoprints and black and white photographic transfers to create dream like worlds that speak to memory and imagination.  The work integrates her fascination with the idea of mirage or optical illusion by combining her images of specific places and people of her past with additional layers of monoprinting and other printmaking techniques that activate the emotional context and memory of the physical photograph.

The Ink Shop has its Annual Print Sale before the holidays. Our collection of prints is extensive and it represents some of the best printmakers around. The work exhibited in this print sale will make great gifts. We encourage everyone to bring some wonderful handmade prints home, support the Arts and local artists.

I SeeYou showcases the talent of printmaking
students from Ithaca College and Cornell University, featuring a diverse range of printmaking techniques, including relief, intaglio, and screenprinting providing a glimpse into the breadth and depth of the discipline.

Hannah Law is an artist, musician and educator who is deeply concerned with craft and the medium's egalitarian spirit. She focuses on scenes from everyday life; countrysides from her hometown in upstate New York, wildlife and domestic still lives. She creates images of places and objects that are familiar.

The Ink Shop Printmaking Center will show member work, either Ithaca inspired or created here. Our studio has several new members and we are excited to add their unique contributions to the pool of diverse printmaking imagery and techniques that the Ink Shop artists use. This exhibit is in conjunction with our annual Member Exhibit which provides the opportunity to see the creative and skilled work coming out of Ithaca’s own community print studio.
