INSIDE THIS ISSUE
BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
March means Mo’Print, a celebration of printmaking in the state of Colorado. The crux of the celebration is Print Jam, officially named 528.0 Regional Juried Printmaking Exhibition, held at the Arvada Center. Co-founder and organizer Emily Moyer explained that the 528.0 part of the name has two separate meanings. One is for Denver’s “Mile High” altitude and the other defines the region that the exhibition covers. “It’s open to artists that are within 528 miles,” Moyer said. “It’s a region that often gets ignored.” Moyer explained that the region is known for its open spaces and outdoor attractions, but not the print art. “There’s an incredible amount of really wonderful printmaking happening here,” Moyer said. “And so, the show is really intended to highlight this region.” The event filled the history museum and main gallery with print art displays and demonstrations of several different types of printmaking.
