The Boston Printmakers Mission Statement

The purposes of the Organization are to: 

  • Promote public knowledge, understanding, and support for printmaking
  • Encourage and support artists working in printmaking
  • Promote excellence in printmaking
  • Support innovation within the field of printmaking

The Boston Printmakers has provided Boston and New England access to fine art printmaking since 1948.  We have donated our print collection to the public through the Boston Public Library.  We add to this collection every two years with a Purchase Prize when we sponsor the North American Print Biennial, showcasing printmakers from the United States and Canada.  The exhibition is juried by curators of national stature.  Ours is the only show like it in New England and is open to the public.  The show informs students, artists, faculty and the public through fine examples of print media, while recognizing quality printmaking.  We support further learning, and professional experience and the recognition of student work through our Arches Student Print Exhibition, which runs concurrently with the Biennial.  We sponsor the cash prizes for this Exhibition as well.  We encourage a dialogue in the print community through our newsletters.  We sponsor traveling shows and member shows which always debut in  the Boston Area, providing further cultural and learning opportunities to Boston and greater New England.  Our traveling shows highlight Boston artists throughout the US and Canada.  We are supporting travel and international sharing through international printmaking exhibitions and travel opportunities.  The Boston Printmakers is a non-profit, volunteer organization.
