Printing Sessions: October 15 – 21, 2023
Youth MONOTHON: October 22, 2023
MONOTHON Auction & Party: November 11, 2023
Each year the Center for Contemporary Printmaking hosts MONOTHON: a two-part celebration of monotype printmaking and CCP’s largest fundraising effort. Now in its twenty-third year, MONOTHON kicks off October 15, opening our schedule to artists booking 5 hour intensive monotype printing sessions through October 21, as well as a Youth MONOTHON session on October 22. A selection of prints created during the printing sessions will then be included in our Silent Auction which will occur during the MONOTHON Auction & Party on November 11. This year we’re bringing the Auction & Party back home to CCP!
The Center for Contemporary Printmaking invites you to participate in MONOTHON 2023!
MONOTHON is the most important fundraising event of the year at CCP. Help support the Center with your participation and meet up with friends and colleagues, old and new, during a workshop, the printmaking week, or at the Monothon Auction and Party.
