First Edition is a juried exhibition of original prints created by undergraduates currently studying in colleges within the Southeast. The prints represent many traditional printmaking methods, such as linoleum cut, woodcut, intaglio and screen printing. The images themselves are contemporary, vibrant and fresh. 34 students from 9 southeastern states submitted 73 prints. Juror Sydney Cross, Distinguished Alumni Professor of Art, printmaking, at Clemson University, accepted 26 prints for First Edition. These students demonstrate promise for continued growth as thoughtful artists rooted in the fine craft of printmaking.
Greenville Technical College's RIVERWORKS Gallery and Department of English have collaborated to install First Edition as a celebration of the Two Year College English Association - Southeast Conference hosted in March by the Department of English. The goals of the collaboration were to express the natural affinity of visual art and literature, celebrate the similar histories of printmaking and the printed word as means of mass communication, and include students from the southeastern membership of the Two Year College English Association. First Edition, the result of those goals, is an entertaining and informative study of beginning printmaking today.
RIVERWORKS Gallery is operated by and for the faculty and students of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Greenville Technical College. The gallery is located at 300 River Street, Suite 202, along the scenic Reedy River at Art Crossing in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Look for the red umbrella.
