Studio 889, 889 Hunts Point Avenue, New York
United States of America
6 December 2008 - 10 January 2009
Launching a winter tradition, Studio 889's Second Annual Holiday Print Show will take place in its gallery starting on December 6 with an Opening Reception.
Studio 889’s artists invite everyone to celebrate the season by sharing the gift of art.
The Holiday Show is an exhibition of hand-pulled prints by resident artists, as well as prints contributed by community artists and selected artists who responded to an open call for printmakers.
The show runs at Studio 889's own gallery.
Founded and led by well-respected printmaker and BRIO Award winning artist Alejandra C. Delfin. Studio 889 introduces printmaking to people throughout the community, encourages individuals of all ages and levels of experience to explore, get involved, and support the arts.
According to Alejandra C. Delfin, Studio 889's Executive Director, “art always makes a great gift and there is something for everyone in this exhibition.
What we are doing here with the Holiday Show and with the gallery in Hunts Point is trying to create a space where printmakers can work and exhibit their prints”.
Studio 889 is a nonprofit visual arts gallery, workshop and classroom whose mission is to cultivate an artistic environment that encourages creative development, technical experimentation, and the exchange of ideas.
They do so by providing arts in education, community and professional printmaking workshops.
The studio occupies a 500 square foot storefront at 889 Hunts Point Avenue, in the vanguard of the burgeoning South Bronx area.
The space allows for one large press and one small press on premises, as well as gallery exhibit space.
