The Art of Collaboration

Exhibition Website

Jan 22 2018 - Feb 23 2018

A solitary artist is not a stereotype for a printmaker. Printmaking is a medium with a long history of collaboration. Great printmakers often were the heads of workshops where apprentices would learn the skills of the trade in exchange for their contribution to the art. In contemporary art, collaboration is a significant means of networking that create partnerships in the arts allowing for artists to work together for an equal opportunity in the distribution of artwork, future connections, and patronage. Dadaist believed that the value of art was not in the work produced, but in the act of making and collaborating with others to create new visions of the world. A collaboration is not something for a day, but a long and committed process. Working together, artists can experiment, take chances, and learn from one another.
