Madison Print Club

Description

The Madison Print Club was born in a conversation between Tom Haig and Cham Hendon late in the afternoon of October 6, 1971. Mr. Haig, who had been a member of the Cleveland Print Club since 1945, suggested many Madison people might be interested in a similar club. Mr. Hendon, then Director of the Madison Art Center, agreed and contacted prospective members for a meeting the following week. Enthusiasm for a Madison print club spread quickly at the first meeting. There are now 120 members of the Madison Print Club. The four purposes of membership are: -Sponsoring educational activities related to prints, printmaking and print collecting. -Sponsoring exhibitions of prints and printmaking. -Adding to the Madison Art Center’s print collection. -Commissioning an annual presentation print to provide members with examples of printmaking techniques and artistry. Throughout its history, the mission of the Madison Print Club has been to promote the development and appreciation of prints, printmaking and print collecting in the Madison, Wisconsin community. The Club has sponsored and conducted educational activities of various kinds including meetings, symposia, lectures, demonstrations and exhibitions. These educational activities have been free of charge and open to its members, the affiliates and the general public.
