Artist Talk: Wisconsin’s Printmaking Heritage, Then and Now

Join us for a dynamic, multigenerational conversation exploring Wisconsin’s rich printmaking history and its continued impact today. Artists working across a range of techniques, experiences, and perspectives come together to reflect on the power of print, sharing insights into their creative practices, professional paths, and technical approaches. The panel will also explore current opportunities for printmakers and consider what lies ahead for the field. Moderated by Jessica Meuninck-Ganger, the panelists will include N. Adam Beadel, Celeste Contreras, Dr. Tanekeya W. Harris, J. Myszka Lewis, Berel Lutsky, and Evelyn Patricia Terry.

The Artist Talk series welcomes emerging, mid-career, and established artists to share what it means to live creatively. Discussing motivation, medium, and technique, artists will reveal how and why their work expresses their emotions and ideas.
