Printmaking Alumni Exhibition & Reception


Celebrate Lane's printmaking alumni and their original works in LCC's art collection.

Lane Community College has installed 18 original prints by alumni from its printmaking program. The prints were collected by the Art and Applied Design Department for the college's permanent art collection.

This is a diverse and colorful collection that that showcases a variety of printmaking techniques, says art instructor Susan Lowdermilk. There is etching, woodcut, screen print, collagraph and monotypes. The artists all studied at Lane and have gone on to rich and diverse experiences. Many have bachelors and masters of fine art degrees from major universities and art schools and some have won sizable scholarships. Others are productive working artists and some are art teachers. The prints are now part of Lanes permanent art collection. We are proud of this collection and excited to share it with the public.

A reception for the artists and for arts appreciators will be held Thursday, December 3, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the exhibit, installed in the south-facing corridor of building 19 near the Workforce Center.
