ABOUT

The Arizona Print Group was created in 2001. When three printmakers, Joan Thompson, Melinda Wing, and Carol Jenna, realized there was no professional print organization in Arizona, it seemed logical and natural to begin one. Two other printmakers, Marlys Kubicek and Deborah Hodder, joined them and the five artists rented the Arizona Artists Guild building in April 2001 for the first show, and The Arizona Print Group was born.

Members have enjoyed showing their work in a variety of venues including Blue Willow Gallery, Esprit Decor Gallery, Glendale Community College, Kerr Cultural Center, Shemer Art Center, Grand Canyon University, the Tempe Public Library, the University of Arizona Union Gallery in Tucson and at the Mountain Artists Guild & Gallery and the Yavapai College Art Gallery in Prescott. Members have given slide presentations at First Mondays at the Burton Barr Library and at the Phoenix Art Museum. Members have participated in process demonstrations and workshops in support of educating all ages in the joys of printmaking.

The variety of work created by Arizona Print Group members is united in that all works are handpulled, original fine art prints.
