Inkteraction

Printmaking is frequently a collaborative activity, studios and print shops have played a fundamental role in the development of artists' ideas around print. Contemporary printmakers are a group of enthusiastic and committed individuals who mobilized the entire community around a common interest. The often-shared production of printmaking attracts numerous artists working as collectives, well suited to their ambitions to create a sense of community through collaboration. This exhibition features a collection of student prints stemming from printmaking courses taught by Assistant Professor Michael Baum at Black Hills State University.

The selected works offer a diverse blend of media and methodology, featuring prints from both current and past Fine Arts students. These individuals represent a group of cultural advocates that are making an impact through their artistic and educational accomplishments. We are fortunate to have such a proficient and prolific student body who exemplify the mantra, “Where anything is possible.” This is accomplished by creating an environment based on discovery, in which our faculty guide students of all disciplines to become sustained and self-reliant lifelong learners.
