DETAILS:
Founded in 1989, Chicago Printmakers Collaborative (CPC) is the city's longest running independent printmaking workshop. The workshop occupies the former Penn Dutchman Antiques building, renovated specifically for this medium with natural light pouring through its skylight, larger spaces around the presses, new artist studios, equipment upgrades and a rooftop deck. A new addition is completing just in time for OHC. It offers a modern, industrial-looking wing housing a studio and gallery, with a storefront entrance on North Lincoln Avenue. Promoting the art of handmade printing through affordable shop access, classes, workshops, lectures and exhibitions, CPC provides facilities for traditional print media, including etching, stone lithography, relief, book arts and screen printing. The CPC gallery features fine art prints from around the world.
ENTRANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
Enter via the main entrance at 4912 N. Western Ave., or via the new storefront entrance at 4883 N. Lincoln Ave.
VISITOR EXPERIENCE:
CPC is super excited to share its expanded footprint, spanning from both Western to Lincoln Avenues! The new wing fronting Lincoln will be open for the first time to the public, and features the newly constructed printmaking studio and gallery of Deborah Maris Lader, which is connected to the main CPC workshop. Demonstrations of screenprinting will take place in the front studio, while Deborah demonstrates etching in the new wing. Incoming Co-Director Lauren Steinert will be on hand to meet and greet both newcomers and neighbors, and tours of the full workshop will both educate and inspire visitors, who can also try their hand at a simple print project to take home with them.
