Iowa Artists 2012: Print
October 5, 2012 – January 13, 2013
This year, the Des Moines Art Center invites artists living and working in Iowa to submit
original works created from 2008 to the present which utilize print media. Works may
include—but are by no means limited to—traditional printmaking media (such as relief,
intaglio, lithography, screenprinting and stencil, including photography-based printmaking
media, and monotypes). Works may be editioned or unique. Artists also are welcome to
submit (for example) typographic works, including printed artist’s books and broadsides;
artist’s postcards; printed fabric; digital prints; and mixed media works—including
installations and videos—that include printed elements, or refer to printing; embossments;
and printing matrices.
Amy N. Worthen, the Des Moines Art Center’s curator of prints and drawings, is the
exhibition curator. An historian of prints, she is also a working artist. Worthen has
organized over fifty exhibitions of works on paper for the Des Moines Art Center, including
Iowa Artists 2008: Drawing.
