Awake! Printmaking in Action Opening Reception at the AADL

Join us at the AADL on Friday, April 14, from 6-8pm, at the first opening reception for our upcoming Awake! Printmaking in Action exhibition, on view in the A2AC Spotlight Gallery and the 2nd floor of the Downtown Branch of the Ann Arbor District Library. The A2AC will celebrate Awake! on May 5, in conjunction with the opening of Maternal Interior at the A2AC Gallery, as well as the First Fridays Gallery Hop in Ann Arbor, featuring various galleries around the city.

Come pull a print! AADL’s Letterpress Lab will be on hand with their presses during the opening reception. Guests of all ages are invited create a show poster from the Awake! show. All ages welcome 6-8pm during the opening reception.

Awake! Printmaking in Action showcases the current visual language of activist movements. How has printmaking assisted with–and responded to–creating an aesthetic of change? This exhibition features 42 regional and national artists who embolden, seek justice for, and give voice to the various social justice and activist movements in the U.S.

Awake! Printmaking in Action is organized and curated by the Ann Arbor Art Center in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library’s downtown branch location. Additional artwork can be seen at the AADL’s downtown 2nd-floor gallery through May 28, 2023.
