Drive By Press was created to educate and share the contemporary practice of printmaking with students and art audiences across America. DBP has visited well over 100! Universities, Colleges,and public schools, traveling over 100,000 miles!
Today they are at the Buffalo State College printmaking department in Upton Hall demonstrating printmaking techniques. Visitors are welcome to drop by.
Following a week-long residency at the WNY Book Arts Center Printshop, Drive by Press will display a special one-day exhibit of highlights from their traveling collection and the work created during their week at WNYBAC!
The special one-day exhibit/reception with printing demos and lots of art is Friday April 9 7-10pm at the Western NY Book Arts Center at 468 Washington at Mohawk. Admission is free.
During each stop DBP collects prints from area artists, amassing the largest collection of contemporary prints from across the country! DBP is a self- funded endeavor solely surviving on small visiting artists honorariums from schools and from the sales of printing wood blocks on paper and t-shirts. Many blocks have been graciously donated from some of the greatest wood cut artists in the country to support and perpetuate the the endeavor of Drive By press.
