The Ink Shop Printmaking Center is a not-for-profit that promotes fine art prints, works on paper, and artists’ books. Founded in 1999, The Ink Shop is operated by artists who offer a professional, open access, community-based printmaking facility and gallery. As a regional resource for printmaking, The Ink Shop offers five program areas: exhibitions related to prints and works on paper including artist books, a “Talk Print” series in which artists present and discuss their work and techniques, Olive Branch Press, which publishes invited artists’ prints or artist books, workshops for established and emerging artists, and a year-round studio facility for printmakers and bookmakers. Each year the Ink Shop organizes about six exhibitions in-house. These include group shows, invitationals, one or two person shows, and membership shows that explore contemporary print and book arts. Members are given the opportunity to participate in an annual membership show, and encouraged to exhibit with The Ink Shop at other venues.
