Send Message: To this poster

Forgive me, i've been lurking on this website for many months, but i'm
just sending my first post!

My name is Caitlin Perkins, i'm a printmaker working for The Philadelphia Print Collaborative. We are a network of organizations and
individuals working to make Philadelphia a hotbed of printmaking.

I run a public art project called, Printing Philadelphia: The Big Block, focusing on the art of the woodcut. Our website is www.printcollaborative.org where you will find the information about The Big Block or you can email me with questions at
cperkins@printcollaborative.org. If you have related programming or opportunities, please forward them to me.

There is information about a portfolio exchange and a juried exhibition, "What a Relief," at SPECTOR, a gallery in south Philadelphia, will
focus on the art of the woodcut. Shelley Langdale, Assistant Curator of Prints and Drawings of the Philadelphia Museum of Art will be jurying
this exhibition to show a sampling of fine art prints and artworks influenced by woodcut. Work is due in December, and the prospectus is
attached. Please pass the prospectus along to anyone who might be interested!

The Big Block Lecture Series kicks off on Tuesday, September 27 at the Library Company with Jim Green
talking about Franklin and the Woodcut. If your in Philly, come join us for this educational experience on the earliest
woodcuts in colonial America, as we begin the celebration of Franklin's 300th birthday!

Dan,
I thought your work was very strong...nice clear images that have real content.
I tried to leave feedback on your website but it gave me an error page so your link is not working.
best to you,
Barbara
