Hunkered Down
As you can all guess, CCR's POW is parked for the moment.
We are busy cleaning, organizing, and of course working in the studio. These moments of productivity are interspersed with moments of inertia, fear and doubt. BUT, we will get through this.
We will see you all soon, until then we love you all.
Remember to keep being creative and love one another.

25 years Anchor Graphics opening @ the Hokin Project room , Columbia College Chicago
25 Years of Printmaking! Do we ever think about what we will be doing in 10 years let alone 25? So many faces float into view when I think about the time that too quickly passed. People we have been fortunate to know and to work with.
The only thing that I can feel is gratitude for everyone who has given of their time and energy. Support from hundreds of people in a hundred different ways. Without your assistance, encouragement, and ideas, the place would not have made it.

uniquely collaborative environment and produced work for many artists at
different points in their career.
The press has operated out of Santa Fe, New Mexico, since 2004.
The exhibition features approximately 100 editioned prints and printmaking
materials from the Museum’s Landfall Press Archive, established in 1992,
and reveals the various and often complex processes that go into printmaking
at Landfall.
