98th Annual California Society of Printmakers. Art Opening January 5, 2011

Join members of the California Society of Printmakers (CSP) at a reception at Alameda Free Library's Main Branch for the opening of CSP's 98th annual members' exhibition.

Seventy artists will display art work, each with some element of hand-pulled printmaking techniques, including intaglio, lithography, relief prints, serigraphs, along with mixed media pieces incorporating new processes such as digital work, solar etchings, and pronto prints.

During the opening reception viewers can enjoy this wide range of printmaking techniques, and try to figure out how each piece fits into the theme, A Marriage of Opposites: Love & Hate, Life & Death, Heaven & Hell.

Meanwhile, enjoy refreshments and meet many of the artists. Three or more artists will present short, informative talks about their particular print, how it was conceived and produced.

The exhibition runs from Jan 2 to Jan 29th during the Alameda Free Library Main Branch's regular hours:

Monday: 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Tue-Wed-Thurs: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Fri & Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Sunday 1 p.m. - 5 p.m
