The department is sponsoring a bus trip to visit many of the Philagrafika locations during Southern Graphics in Philadelphia this month.
Only a handful of seats are remaining on the bus. The sign-up sheet is located in the front entry-way display case.
If you sign up for the bus but fail to take the trip, your student accounts will be charged $35. We are not doing this to be cruel, but rather to force you to consider your scheduling and availability, and remind you that these seats are in demand. There will be a wait-list for the trip.
If the sign-up-sheet is full, please e-mail printmaking@mica.edu, and you will be wait-listed in the order you are received.
This will be an all day trip, on Friday, March 26th, and faculty from the department will rendezvous with you at various locations in the city.
Please consider your schedule carefully before you sign up.
This is the first friday after Spring Break.
Attn. All:
Due to inclement weather, and the threat of even MORE inclement weather, José Roca’s critiques and lectures, scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday, February 9th and 10th, have been postponed until the Spring.
José Roca has promised a return trip on March 31st and April 1st.
So sorry for the last minute notification, but obviously this is out of our hands.
Details to come as they made available.

By Light Rail – get off at the Woodberry stop. Walk under the 83 overpass and up the long hill (3 blocks). Hang a right at Falls Rd. and walk 2 more blocks. It’ll be on the right side, next to Doubledutch.
See you there!
Boy, if you missed out on the NYC IFPDA and E/AB Print Fairs this weekend, you really missed out. The weather was fantastic, the crowds were easily managed, the print work was far reaching, numerous, and completely accessible. I genuinely hope you made it up.
Our friends at Printeresting, who had their own event this weekend, wrote up a really fabulous review of the two fairs – and rather than me repeating them, I’ll just send you there.
The photo above was taken during the department’s private tour of the Dieu Donne Papermill. Thanks again Kat!
Dearest Printmakers,
As you might have guessed, access to the Dolphin Building will be limited next week. However, you’ll still have access to the building each day of Spring Break from 7am-11pm! Isn’t that grand? Unfortunately, there will be NO PRINTER HOURS. Sorry. Thursday March 12, 6-9pm is the last scheduled printer hours before the Spring Relaxation Fest, so come and get your films!
Happy Spring Breaking!
