Annual Appeal 2025
Dear Supporter,
As we enter this season of giving, we invite you to consider making a charitable contribution to the Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s 2025 Annual Appeal.
To our longtime supporters who give year after year, thank you. Your generosity has helped us navigate challenges, sustain our programs, and continue serving our vibrant printmaking community. We are truly grateful for your ongoing commitment to CCP.
This year, we are thrilled to share some exciting news: CCP has secured a new 10-year lease on our building, ensuring that your donations and our collective efforts will continue to make a lasting impact well into the next decade. Your support truly sustains the place where creativity, learning, and community come together.

Below is a snapshot of what we’ve accomplished over the past twelve months, achievements made possible through your support:
- We launched our page on the Bloomberg Connects app, giving visitors instant access to exhibition details and gallery information right from their phones!
- 8 Gallery Exhibitions exclusively dedicated to fine art printmaking.
- 18 Workshops including a new 6-week Introduction to Printmaking Course specifically designed to provide solid skill foundations for new printmakers.
- 4 Artists-in-Residence including our second annual residency exchange with the City of Dresden, Germany.
- 3 High School Scholarship Students through our Grace Ross Shanley Program, along with college interns and community volunteers, all gaining access to professional printmaking opportunities not available anywhere else in our region.
And there is so much more we have planned for 2026!
- The 10th Biennial FOOTPRINT International Competition and Exhibition
- Year three of our Dresden exchange residency, and additional Artist-in-Residence participants working in the Helen Frankenthaler Printmaking Cottage
- A fresh roster of workshops including another session of the very popular “Introduction to Printmaking Course” and “Mastering the Monotype” with Ron Pokrasso
- Multiple outreach programs throughout the spring and summer, new after-school Shanley Scholars, and new internship opportunities for college students
- Plus an Open House celebration for Print Day in May!
If you believe in the work we do and want to help carry the CCP’s legacy forward for the next 30 years, we invite you to make a tax-deductible donation. Your support ensures we can continue our mission to support, preserve, and advance the art of original print.
With your help, CCP will flourish in 2026 and long into the future!
THANK YOU!
