We are excited to announce our newest exhibit, Ink Unbound, curated by Tara Segars, Calhoun Art Instructor at ACA. The exhibit opens in our Main Gallery on Thursday, May 14.
An exhibit reception will be held on Wednesday, July 15 at 5:00 pm
Both the exhibit and the reception will be free and open to the public.
Ink Unbound celebrates printmaking as a living, evolving art form; one that extends beyond traditional boundaries while remaining rooted in material processes and experimentation. The exhibition brings together artists who challenge conventional definitions of printmaking by pushing the limits of ink, paper, and technique. Through innovative approaches and cross-disciplinary practices, the works on display reflect how contemporary printmakers are redefining what print can be in today’s artistic landscape. Work included in the exhibition range from traditional two-dimensional prints to installation work and beyond.
Curated by Segars, a printmaker and educator whose practice emphasizes both technical rigor and conceptual exploration, Ink Unbound highlights the continued relevance of printmaking in contemporary art. The exhibition showcases works that explore themes of repetition, transformation, materiality, and process, inviting viewers to consider how impressions are made and re-made. From layered surfaces to unconventional matrices and experimental printing methods, the featured works reveal printmaking as a vibrant, adaptive medium responsive to contemporary ideas and concerns.
In addition to celebrating professional artistic practices, Ink Unbound also reflects the educational mission of the ACA by offering students and community members an opportunity to engage directly with contemporary printmaking. The exhibition serves as a resource for art students, educators, and the public, fostering dialogue about creative process and the evolving role of traditional media in contemporary art.
The exhibit will close on Thursday, July 16. The ACA is open Monday-Thursday from 8:00 am – 8:00 pm and on Friday from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm.
