Printing Circle with Marie Watt
Opening Celebration for Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
Opening day for the new special exhibition at the UMFA—Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation— offers a once in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a printing circle led by artist Marie Watt. Create printmaking plates and prints that will be integrated into future works by Watt.
Multimedia artist Marie Watt is a storyteller. As a member of the Seneca Nation with German-Scots ancestry, her stories draw from Native and non-Native traditions: Greco-Roman myth, pop music and Pop art, Indigenous oral narratives, Star Wars, and Star Trek. Over the course of her career, Watt has told her stories through prints. The collaborative printmaking process allows her to build community through art and storytelling that is personal, cultural, and universal.
No experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome. Materials will be provided. RSVP is encouraged but not required; visitors may join at any time as space allows.
Admission to the Museum is free every third Saturday of the month.
