HOLIDAY SOCIAL

Joan Gunzberg, Executive Director of the Arts & Business Council of Chicago.

Anchor Graphics was founded in 1988, and became operational in 1990.  Its purpose is to advance the fine art of the printmaking tradition by providing educational and art-making opportunities for both young people and professional artists, and by educating the public about the printmaking process.  Since 1990, Anchor Graphics has consistently maintained their mission of offering free printmaking opportunities to Chicago youth, adult evening courses, access to the facilities for artists, exhibitions of artists' works that push the boundaries of printmaking, and community programs, including free public lecture/demonstrations by exhibiting artists, tours, and afternoon workshops.  Past and current collaborative relationships include the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Marwen, Gallery 37, Daniel J. Nellum Youth Services, the Chicago International Artists Program, and Chicago area high schools and community groups.

This will be a truly unique experience and an opportunity to visit one of the city’s unique arts institutions.  Come join us for this great holiday social event.
