Graphicstudio

Thank you to everyone who came to Graphicstudio for our Benefit Sale and Open House last weekend! We are so grateful for the support of our community, with visitors coming from both near and far!

We are going to get some much needed rest and the studio will be closed Friday, May 22 and Monday, May 25 for a long Memorial Day weekend.

A huge congratulations to artist Iva Gueorguieva on her just-announced Guggenheim Fellowship; this is a significant recognition of her immense talent, artistic vision, and dedicated practice! Iva has collaborated on projects with Graphicstudio since 2011, when her first print ‘Stained’ was released. One of the most prolific Graphicstudio artists, Gueorguieva’s projects at the studio incorporate a staggering number of techniques and approaches, including editioned and unique prints, several series of unique sculptures, and shaped monoprints on fabric. Her prints and sculptures epitomize the studio’s mission to expand artists’ work in new and innovative directions.
