The Print Center encourages the growth and understanding of photography and printmaking as vital contemporary arts through exhibitions, publications and educational programs. Founded in 1915 as one of the first venues in this country dedicated to the appreciation of prints, The Print Club supported the "dissemination, study, production, and collection of works by printmakers, American and foreign." In 1942, The Print Club donated its collection of prints to the Philadelphia Museum of Art forming the core of their fledgling print department. Exhibitions have featured the work of Mary Cassatt, Pablo Picasso, Dox Thrash, Jasper Johns, Ansel Adams, Art Spiegelman, and more recently Kara Walker, Jerry Uelsmann, John Coplans, Kerry James Marshall, Nancy Spero and Leon Golub, Ann Hamilton, Vera Lutter, Abelardo Morell and Doug and Mike Starn. EXHIBITIONS: The Print Center holds solo and group exhibitions highlighting gifted new artists, acknowledging long-term commitment to printmaking and photography, or identifying relevant trends in those fields. Each year, The Print Center mounts nine to ten solo exhibitions and two to three group shows in The Print Center’s galleries, in non-gallery public locations, and in traveling exhibitions. EDUCATION PROGRAMS: The Print Center Series provides ongoing educational programs that provide an opportunity for the whole community to explore topical ideas, current discourse, approaches to collecting and changing technologies, processes and materials during discussion groups, lectures, panels and workshops. The Artists-in-Schools Program is our award winning program of educational community outreach that brings visual art education to students in underserved, disadvantaged Philadelphia Public Schools. 100 Years in 2015
