ROOTS: Opening Night Art Exhibition with Garrison Art Center

Garrison Art Center and Desmond-Fish Public Library have invited printmakers to submit work for a collaborative exhibition exploring the intersection of nature, history, and discovery. Inspired by Garrison Art Center’s summer theme, Rooted: Art and the Natural World, and the Library’s summer reading theme, Unearth A Story, this exhibition considers the many ways we connect to the world around us—through landscape, material, and time.
​We’ve encouraged artists to think expansively about what it means to be “rooted” and what it means to “unearth.” These ideas may be approached literally or conceptually. Through this collaboration, we aim to highlight the rich connections between art, storytelling, and the natural world—inviting artists and viewers alike to look more closely, dig more deeply, and discover new ways of seeing.
You can find more information about the artists and work here after the committee reviews and selects the works for this show. Works may incorporate traditional or experimental printmaking techniques, including but not limited to relief, intaglio, lithography, screenprint, monotype, and expanded or mixed-media approaches.
​This exhibition will be on view at Desmond-Fish Public Library from June 25 to October 25.
