Press Play: Collage in Print

August 8 - October 11, 2026

Sharon & Lance Beshore Gallery

Press Play: Collage and Print is a juried exhibition that brings together the repetitive and transformative processes of printmaking with the expressive language of collage.  Featuring works by artists from across the country, the exhibition explores how traditional printmaking techniques can be expanded through layering, assembling, and reimagining imagery into bold new visual experiences.

From relief prints and intaglio to screenprints, lithography, and experimental hybrid processes, the exhibition showcases the remarkable versatility of contemporary printmaking. Many of the featured artists combine these techniques with collage, incorporating hand-pulled prints, artist-made papers, chine-collé, stitching, and other mixed-media approaches. The result is a collection of works rich in texture, complexity, and craftsmanship.

Whether you are a longtime print enthusiast or discovering these processes for the first time, Press Play: Collage and Print offers an engaging look at the evolving possibilities of contemporary printmaking and the enduring power of the printed image.

Reception: Friday, August 7, 2026 | 5:30-7:30pm
