WHAT IS MONOTHON2011?
The CCP 13th annual marathon of monotype printing starts with printing sessions, an opportunity for artists to work with master printers in art-intensive, five-hour sessions to create original monotypes. This year, Artists' Printing Sessions were held from October 16 through 22, a Youth Monothon took place October 23, and printing sessions ended with the Outreach Monothon for Briggs High School students on October 24.

WHAT IS A MONOTYPE?
Monotype prints are made by drawing or painting with ink directly onto a printing plate. The plate is placed in contact with paper and run through a printing press, producing a one-of-a-kind print.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PRINTING SESSION?
Each MONOTHON artist is assisted by a Master Printer and a Press Assistant. All materials are provided; artists may create up to ten prints during each session.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PRINTING SESSION?
At the end of each session, one print from each artist is selected for exhibition and sale at the MONOTHON2011 Auction and Party, the celebration that is the culmination of the monotype marathon. The artist retains her/his remaining prints. Prints chosen for exhibition and sale become the property of the Center for Contemporary Printmaking. All proceeds from MONOTHON2011 (printing sessions and auction) support CCP’s programs and activities. The Center for Contemporary Printmaking is a nonprofit workshop and gallery recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c) (3) organization.

The CCP mission is to support, preserve, and advance the art of original prints.

Congratulations Inga - HARVARD class of 2011

"In those somber forests of her striving 

her own soul rose before her, 

and she saw herself, darkly as through a veil;

and yet she saw in herself 

some faint revelation of her power, of her mission. 

She began to have a dim feeling that, 

to attain her place in the world, 

she must be herself, and not another" 

- W.E.B. DuBois 

(Harvard Class of 1890!)

ART TO THE AVENUE 2011 – A FOURTEEN YEAR TRADITION

Art to the Avenue, the Greenwich Arts Council’s annual spring celebration, 

turns downtown Greenwich into a strolling art gallery 

that brings works of art to store windows throughout the month of May. 

In recent years, Art to the Avenue has grown to include many 

“Off Avenue” community locations as well, 

that extend the reach of the downtown exhibitions.

Happy Spring - be sure to check out the tab above marked "New Work"!
