The printmaking program at CSU Chico offers students a unique educational experience by working closely with the Janet Turner Print Museum, a collection of almost 4,000 original prints that span six centuries. Located in the building adjacent to the print studios, the collection is used for in-depth study of historical and contemporary artwork, special curatorial and research opportunities, internships, and an annual student printmaking exhibition, and offers a generous annual printmaking scholarship.The printmaking studio courses balance learning a variety of traditional, experimental, and mixed-media techniques with conceptual and aesthetic development. At the BFA and MFA levels, individual expression and technical accomplishment is reached through one-on-one mentoring beyond class meetings. Students work towards developing a cohesive body of artwork for a culminating exhibition and preparation for their career beyond CSU Chico.
