Josephy Center Presents: Opening Reception for Oregon Printmakers

Josephy Center for Arts and Culture presents an exhibit of prints curated by Christy Wyckoff. The show features Oregon artists, who are part of Wyckoff’s artistic communities. Wyckoff grew up in Eastern Oregon and taught printmaking at Pacific NW College of Art in Portland for over 30 years.

Exhibit opens on Saturday, April 1 at  7 PM with an opening reception with fun hands-on printmaking lessons with multiple types of prints for all to try. Also a big closing party reception on May 26 at 7 PM and Christy will present a slide show presentation about his career as an artist and as a collector as part of our artist lecture series, “Live and Up Front” at 8 p.m. as part of the reception. Both events are free but donations are welcome. Printmaking fun will have pricing that will be determined.
