About

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 501c3status.

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.

Our facility is on the ground floor of a vintage factory with a full wall of north facing windows and is ADA compliant. Our studio can accommodate intaglio, relief, silkscreen, letterpress, and waterless lithography processes.

Hours of Operation:

Members use the studio at their convenience so we do not keep regular business hours.  Want to stop in and check out our studio and artwork?! Pop in during Open Studio dates or email our cooperative 2-3 days in advance of your visit at info@phoenixrisingprintmaking.org.
