| Maryland Printmakers, This is a site they care about. It's informative, at times fascinating, with features like Susan Goldman´s story on the Cultural Moussem in Assilah, Morocco and Jane Farmer's Paper Road/Tibet article. The back-issue archive is a treasure trove. | http://www.marylandprintmakers.org |
| OnArt.com - A general-interest art site which has just undertaken the laudable task of assembling a huge link directory of art sites, including a good printmaking section. | |
| Francis Camilleri - An artist with a difference. Have a look. | http://www.watercolor-paintings.biz |
| Digital Printing & Imaging Association (DPI) - The international organization of firms producing large-format graphics thrugh digital output technologies. Have a look at their welcome page for fine-art printmakers: http://www.dpia.org/fadp. | |
| International Print Center New York - A non-profit fine-art print specialty site run by people who are trying to do something good for printmaking in New York. With special programs for young artists (and young collectors!), they have their own exhibit space where they also do valuable didactic work. Wholly laudable. | http://www.ipcny.org contact@ipcny.org |
| The Philadelphia Print Workshop - Their principal business is the sale of antique prints, maps and rare books, but their site stands out for its excellent documentation regarding printmaking in general in its "reference library" section. And if you happen to like old prints, maps or books, this is definitely your site. | |
| New Directions in Printmaking - This is the immensely informative, varied and useful site by Canadian printmaker and art educator, Nik Semenoff, dedicated to "Safer and environmentally friendly prinmaking processes using materials available in every community." Nik is currently Artist in Residence at the University of Saskatchewan. In keeping with our policy of fighting the good fight for printmakers, World Printmakers would like to take this opportunity to head up the campaign to return Nik his free parking spot in the faculty parking lot! | http://duke.usask.ca/~semenoff semenoff@sask.usask.ca |
| The Canadian Visual Arts Directory - This is an ambitious, well-organized reference site for everything art related in Canada, put together by Paul Constable. Its nifty search engine permits visitors to search by province and subject matter and there are thematic sections for artists, galleries, associations, art business, daily art news, education, exhibits, resources, tours, tutorials, etc. A good starting point for any Canadian art research project. | http://www.artistsincanada.com |
| Relativities - The 4th British International Miniature Print Exhibition. A showcase for the "artist alone being involved in all the creative procedures from conception to completion, reflecting a traditional purist view of what makes a multiple fine-art print truly 'original.' It's an itinerant as well as a formidable virtual show, and includes critical and think pieces. Our felicitations to World Printmakers' own Mike North, of the Loughborough University School of Art and Design, who played a major role in putting it together. | http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ac/relativ/fwd.html |
| A Gathering of Artists - A new site just up, lovingly handcrafted and dedicated to the art and handicrafts of Atlantic Canada. This, to our thinking, is a model site for the future, real communication by real people on subjects of universal concern, and its creator, Richard Levangie (a former art and culture newspaper features writer) is to be congratulated. Bookmark it and watch it grow! | http://www.gathering-of-artists.ca |
| Trillium Press - A San Francisco Bay Area fine-art printmaking workshop (lithography, monotype, Iris, photogravure, silkscreen) for more than 20 years, they've recently taken their nice, eclectic, open-minded ideas on printmaking to the World Wide Web. | http://www.trilliumprints.com |

Includes the [Baren] (don't forget the brackets) online discussion forum. These are folks who take it seriously. |
|
| The Impressed Image - Stephen Marson's highly-personalized (wacky) links site. Eccentric, ironic, egomaniac and refreshingly non commercial. Some of the links are a bit stale, however, and a lot of them don't link to anything. | |
| Printforum.Com , Directory of Print Dealers and Galleries. Pretty institutional, but it has the goods on the big international art dealers' associations. | |
| Imagemakers - Canadian art dealer Cam Timlick's site with lots of images of all kinds of serial art, artists' galleries, selection of international artists and a nice selection of links. An interesting resource site. | http://www.imagemakers.mb.ca |

| Atelier Bordas, one of France's most prestigious printmaking workshops and graphic galleries, located in the Place de la Bastille. Big and full of fantasy with three 19th-century litho presses (one very big), works with artists like Dubuffet, Tom Carr, Roberto Matta, Eduardo Arroyo, Paul Jenkins, others... They also have a graphic gallery in Venice. (Site in French and English) | |

A very interesting culture portal dealing with performing arts, art history, museums, galleries, Eastern art, literature, music, crafts, film, fashion, architecture, visual arts and artists, dance, philosophy, libraries, etc, all with a South Pacific tilt. You've been needing this site for a long time, but hadn't noticed. | http://www.zeroland.co.nz |
