Chicago Printmakers Collaborative

Founded in 1989, Chicago Printmakers Collaborative (CPC) is the city's longest running independent printmaking workshop. The NEA-funded workshop occupies the former Penn Dutchman Antiques building, renovated specifically for this medium with natural light pouring through its skylight, larger spaces around the presses, new artist studios, equipment upgrades and a rooftop deck. A new addition offers a modern, industrial-looking wing housing a studio and gallery, with a storefront on North Lincoln Avenue. Promoting the art of handmade printing through affordable shop access, classes, workshops, lectures and exhibitions, CPC provides facilities for traditional print media, including etching, stone lithography, relief, book arts and screen printing. The CPC gallery features fine art prints from around the world.
