In 1974, a group of enterprising and talented artists decided to form a dedicated space to promote and educate others about the fine art of printmaking. Our Founding Mothers established Printmakers Inc. as a nonprofit, and in 1975 they opened our doors in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia.
Printmakers Inc. began as a professional printmaking studio for artist members to create and share their work with the public. Now, half a century later, it has flourished into a vibrant and well-respected source of unique hand-pulled prints, art instruction, and community service.
Our 50th anniversary portfolio contains original, hand-pulled prints created specifically for this anniversary by our member artists. Each print is signed and numbered in an edition of 50, one for each year, highlighting the unique talents and wide breadth of techniques that continue to flourish in our studio.
