“The DMV Collects the DMV celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Washington Print Club by presenting an encapsulated history of regional artists and institutions selected from members’ collections. Forty-nine artists who lived or built their careers in the District-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) region are represented by works on paper, ranging from drawing, painting, and photography to print-making. This multigenerational assemblage of artists established and were supported by key educational institutions and print workshops. The Corcoran School of Art, Howard University, and Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) provided valuable training, employment, and art community cohesion for decades. No fewer than five important print workshops were established by artists included in the exhibition: The Workshop Inc. (Lou and Di Stovall), Pyramid Atlantic (Helen Frederick), Handprint Workshop International (HPWI was established by Dennis O’Neil, who taught at the Corcoran and printed the work of several artists in the exhibit), Lily Press (Susan Goldman), and Sol Print Studio (Soledad Salamé).”
