Island Press
St. Louis, MO
Island Press is a research-driven fine art print workshop at Washington University in St. Louis dedicated to the creation and publication of innovative prints and multiples, the education of emerging artists, and the advancement of contemporary printmaking. Through intensive artist residencies, Island Press investigates the conceptual, material, and technical possibilities of print as an expansive artistic medium. Each project is shaped by the intersection of an artist’s individual creative practice and the broader philosophical and material foundations of printmaking. Embracing experimentation with emerging technologies, processes, and materials, the press produces inventive editions across a diverse range of media. Visiting artists collaborate closely with the master printer, faculty, and students in an environment that fosters the reciprocal exchange of knowledge, artistic exploration, and research.
