An Exhibition to Benefit Studio 889 - Opening Reception on Friday, June 5th, 2009, 5 – 8 PM

The exhibition will feature prints by artists that have collaborated, worked, learned at Studio 889 and have in turn donated their pieces of art; their endeavors is what has bolstered this studio.

The hand-pulled prints are works in black and white, and color in the applications of linocut, woodcut, mono-silkscreen, collagraph, monotype, monoprint, solar etching and foam printing and a combination of different print-making techniques. Master printmaker and founder of Studio 889, Alejandra Delfin, will curate the exhibition.

Mr. Hy Rosen, the proprietor of 788 Southern Boulevard, is sponsoring the exhibition, while the 3,500 square feet of office space is looking for its new tenants. In helping us with this fund raising project, Mr. Rosen has graciously lent the unoccupied space to Studio 889.

Studio 889 has recently lost their studio space; this project is to raise funds for the relocation of the Studio. Studio 889 is continuing to offer community printmaking classes from the local renowned art and environmental organization THE POINT CDC on Saturdays from 10:30am-12:30pm.

All the proceeds of the sale of the Studio 889 Collection goes entirely to the studio, individual artists who are selling their own work are donating a fixed percentage of their sales.

We greatly appreciate all who come out to support this event. We look forward to seeing you on June 5th.
