reception: March 8, 4-7 p.m.

"In May of 2006 well known artists and educators, Jim McCormick, Candace Nicol, and Nolan Preece called together other northern Nevada artists to form the Northern Nevada Printmakers’ Conspiracy. The group is organized around a love of printmaking and the objective is to expand the audience for fine art prints. Fine art prints, or original prints, are works of art printed from a matrix which is hand made by the artist for the sole purpose of creating the desired image. The matrix may be a carved block, an etched plate, a cut stencil or other device for transferring an image. The resulting impression is not a copy but an original work of art."
