The 20th Anniversary exhibit celebrates two decades of printmaking. This show features Ink Shop artists, fellows, instructors, students, plus printmakers from around the country who have created or shown with us.
The exhibit runs from February 28th to March 29th, 2020 in “La Ferme Du Mousseau in Elancourt, 78990, France.
