Artists have been using printmaking processes for centuries to
create thought-provoking works of art, however the details of the medium are
often a mystery to viewers.  Backward is Forward: Layer and Impact in Printmaking
brings together the work of
nineteen artists and reveals the techniques behind relief, intaglio, and
planographic printmaking processes. 

Visitors will have the
opportunity to explore a range of content from the work of well-known artists
who include printmaking among their many modes of expression, and those who use
printmaking as their primary creative practice.  Audiences will discover the tools of the trade that
facilitate printmaking techniques and are invited to participate in hands-on
art activities in the community gallery.
