Washington Print Foundation

Mission

The mission of the Washington Print Foundation is to advance contemporary printmaking, photography, and the book arts in the Washington area. Since its founding over 13 years ago, the Foundation has worked in partnership with Washington Printmakers Gallery to provide accessibility to these vital contemporary art forms and to promote fine-art printmaking and appreciation of contemporary, artist-made prints, photographs, and artists books through education, exhibition, and community outreach programs. Through its outreach to galleries and artists, the foundation has provided monetary assistance for inventive and passionate work by accomplished artists both locally and nationally.

Programs

The Washington Print Foundation’s strong series of programs are designed to educate the public on the beauty, value, historical and artistic importance of these arts. The Foundation hosts exhibitions, demonstrations, workshops, lectures and community events. Our programs are designed for a Washington DC metro area audience; but they reach a national and international print community through exchange exhibits, and juried shows.

Support the Foundation

With your help, the Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all volunteer organization, can continue to expand its programming and to enrich our community with the visual arts. Please consider making a gift to the Foundation.
