Zygote Press Printmaking Expedition Project
January 15, 2013 - March 17, 2013

On Friday, January 18, 2013 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm The Shaker Historical Society (SHS), 16740 South Park Blvd. in Shaker Heights, OH invites you to join friends and artists for an opening reception featuring prints from Cleveland’s award winning Zygote Press, Inc., in the Jack and Linda Lissauer Gallery. The exhibition will run from Tuesday, January 15th thru Sunday, March 20th 2013.

The Zygote Press developed this traveling exhibition, known as the Printmaking Exhibition Project, to make contemporary printmaking more accessible to the broader community. The exhibition features many individual works offering a different technical approach to the printmaking medium. The works in the exhibit were selected by four distinguished curators: William Busta, William Martin Jean, Bellamy Printz and Lisa Schonberg. The mission of Zygote Press Inc. is to enable artists to produce fine art prints within an atmosphere of collective exchange by providing them with affordable work space and exhibition opportunities. ZPI is a resource dedicated to increasing awareness about contemporary printmaking by creating active communication among artist-printmakers and the broader community. ZPI was the recipient of the 2012 Cleveland Arts Prize, the Martha Joseph Prize for Distinguished Service to the Arts.
