 Art can provide an important intellectual and emotional outlet when the artist and the audience face personal and social challenges. After 2 years of an anemic social environment due to a challenging global crisis, privatization has trumped community in many respects. This process has been visually hallmarked by face coverings, which, while vital to public health, also represent the suppression of social interaction contributing to emotional isolation. In Unmasked, printmakers reintroduce themselves to society through self-portraits. Participants were asked to create a self-portrait that is recognizable yet not necessarily realistic. These portraits range in print media, from relief prints of woodcut and linoleum to intaglio and lithography.



CPC MONTHLY MEETINGS

Each month, CPC members gather to share work, discuss ideas, and connect with each other. Contact us if you would be interested in joining us. Prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Meetings were typically held at the GCCA with the exception of an occasional member studio visit. Meetings are still in session each month via zoom.
