Press Out Hate is an effort to help CCP move forward towards more equity and access in our maker space to bolster our commitment to working towards creating a more equitable and inclusive organization. CCP invited local non-profit community-focused organizations to take part in a hands-on printmaking workshop expressing what “press out hate” means to them.
Prints created as a result of these workshop will be on view in CCP’s Grace Ross Shanley gallery between May 1st and May 22nd with a culminating Press Out Hate open house and community hands-on printmaking day. The public is invited to attend, try printmaking activities, partake in raffles, and view the prints that have been made by members of the community.
PANEL DISCUSSION
Thursday, May 19th from 5:30 – 6:30 PM
Panelists: David Green, Executive Director, Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County; Duvian Montoya, Artistic and Educational Director at the Norwalk Art Space; Edson Rivas, Executive Director, Triangle Community Center
During the panel discussion, the panelists will talk more about community building through projects reflecting on how Press Out Hate and other programs provide creative opportunities for expression through learning a traditional art making practice. We will hear from local leaders in the creative community about the ways artists in our area are making use of various arts for community building and development and how this makes positive change in a community.

Learn the basics of Cyanotype printmaking in this FREE drop in workshop
The word “linocut” refers to the medium and the action of this printmaking method. “Lino”, short for linoleum, is the material in which an artist may “cut ” into to create a printable image. Using sharp tools to carve away the non printing area of the image, the remaining untouched linoleum will accept ink to then print onto paper. Linoleum and other soft materials can be used for this relief process due to its ease of carving yet resilience against wearing away.
This event is open to the public on a drop in basis at any time between 1:30 and 4 PM. This activity is estimated to take 20 – 30 minutes to complete, but participants are welcome to stay as long as they like or come and go as they please. RSVP is encouraged but not required.

Drop-In Session, 20-30 minute activity
RSVP encouraged but not required
Learn the basics of Cyanotype printmaking in this FREE drop in workshop
The cyanotype, or “blue-printing,” is an iron-based photo printing process that responds to UV light. By applying cyanotype chemistry onto paper and using opaque materials to block the paper, the exposed chemistry reacts to the UV rays to turn blue while the “blocked” shape remains white. Participants will create cyanotype prints on paper using found materials and expose the images using the sun’s UV rays.
This event is open to the public on a drop in basis at any time between 1:30 and 4 PM. This activity is estimated to take 20 – 30 minutes to complete, but participants are welcome to stay as long as they like or come and go as they please. RSVP is encouraged but not required.

Drop-In Session, 20-30 minute activity
RSVP encouraged but not required
Learn the basics of monotype and Gelli Plate printmaking in this FREE drop in workshop
A monotype is a method of printmaking where an artist directly applies ink to a matrix (plate) which is then transferred onto paper, resulting in a one of a kind print. Gelli Plate Printing utilizes gelatin plates which allows the artist to physically print an image by rubbing paper onto the elastic surface of the plate. Using rollers, q-tips, stencils, and other textural materials, beginners can explore the versatility of printmaking without the use of a printmaking press.
This event is open to the public on a drop in basis at any time between 1:30 and 4 PM. This activity is estimated to take 20 – 30 minutes to complete, but participants are welcome to stay as long as they like or come and go as they please. RSVP is encouraged but not required.

The Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s 8th Biennial FOOTPRINT International Exhibition includes 85 prints by artists representing 13 countries as selected by invited juror, Jeff Bergman. Artists were asked to submit original prints measuring exactly 12” x 12” for consideration. CCP received submissions of 305 prints by 178 artists demonstrating current trends and innovations in printmaking within the challenging space of a precise limit. In response to the work submitted, Bergman states “Gathering a group of approximately 300 prints together reveals the common themes found in art the world over: landscape, portrait, narrative composition and abstraction. Nearly one hundred works on paper, one foot square each, exemplify the art and artists of contemporary printmaking…Images rendered shadowy in etching, fluid in monotype and bright and brilliant in a variety of relief processes reveal a constellation of printmakers in the galaxy …of today’s working artists.” The exhibition is on view in CCP’s Grace Ross Shanley Gallery through August 28, 2022.
Juror Jeff Bergman reviewed 305 print submissions from 178 artists representing eighteen countries. Bergman selected 85 works from 79 artists representing 19 states and 12 countries.
