Printmakers set first fund-raiser

Saltgrass Printmakers, 2126 S. 1000 East, will hold its First Year Anniversary Salt Lake Associated Printers (S.L.A.P.) Print Exchange and Fund-Raiser on Friday, Nov. 12, 6-10 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 13, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Over 20 printers will participate, creating and donating a limited-edition print to be sold at the fund-raiser. Eight prints from each artist's edition will be available, and all proceeds will go to Saltgrass Printmakers.

In a print exchange, printers respond to a central theme or concept, producing an edition large enough so all participating printers receive a full edition copy for themselves. Prints are also collected in an edition for an exhibition.

Participating printers are: Gary Barton, Ed Bateman, Joey Behrens, Ryan Bency, Sandy Brunvand, Alison Denyer, Erik De Waal, Elizabeth DeWitte, Justin Diggle, Stefanie Dykes, Bill Hosterling, Lisa Hubbert, Bob Kleinschmidt, Steve Lockett, Susan Makov, Toni Nelson, Joe Ostraff, Marnie Powers-Torrey, Jen Sorenson, Jill Saxton-Smith and K. Stevenson.

The exhibition fund-raiser is free and open to the public. For more information call Stefanie Dykes at 521-7432 or Sandy Brunvand at 363-3315.
