Celebrating 20 Years!

20 years ago there was no printmaking cooperative in Columbus Ohio!

Can you image? Neither can we!

The co-founders of our cooperative opened its doors to the public in September 1998 at the original location on Parsons Avenue. The goal of our membership then and now is to keep the fine art of printmaking alive and thriving in central Ohio. Check out our story of how it all began...

Jessie Horning completes Recent Grad Membership

Jessie Horning completed her 12 consecutive week Recent Graduate Membership at our cooperative in Jan 2018. She is a dynamic contemporary printmaker! Jessie uses Sintra (a pvc board) as her plate material. Jessie approaches her current imagery thinking about the residue, record and ghosts of her life experiences and memories. She uses stencils to add depth, mass and texture to her prints. As a requirement of this special membership, she presented an artist talk about her approach to printmaking and her accomplishments during her membership.

Columbus Student Ambassadors 2017

Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative hosted 25 students from central Ohio colleges on August 14th as part of a leadership program. Each student carved a two inch block and then we put them all together to create a poster. Everyone got a turn to print a poster on our Vandercook letterpress. Great group, great fun!

Mission Statement

Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative is dedicated to promoting the art of printmaking by providing a well-equipped studio, educational opportunities and an environment of mutual support, camaraderie and inspiration for artists and students, and the community.

History

Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative was formed in 1996, and began renovating a 1904 building into a studio facility that opened its doors in September 1998. From its beginning the studio was equipped with a Takach etching press, a Vandercook relief press and materials to accommodate a variety of printmaking techniques. Later, Phoenix Rising acquired a second etching press and added additional mobile work tables so that more printmakers could work at the same time.

Phoenix Rising had always operated as a nonprofit organization, and in June of 2010 was officially granted 501(c)(3)status. The cooperative moved to its present larger venue in December 2011. The current facility is on the ground floor of a vintage factory with a full wall of north facing windows and is ADA compliant.

Phoenix Rising's artist members offer a variety of workshops and classes that highlight their particular skills and guest artists are invited to give special presentations. The artists of Phoenix Rising provide outreach programs demonstrating and teaching printmaking techniques in a variety of venues - public and private schools, art groups, colleges, artist's residencies, in-service workshops, etc.
