Abstract

Necessity drives the evolution of new technology; the current pandemic forced us to rapidly embrace virtual engagement on a large scale. The need for social distancing has impacted every facet of our lives and challenges the notion of printmaking as a cooperative process.

SGCI released MakeReady as a social platform for its membership—allowing members to share ideas, resources and collaborate on projects and create an online community that exists to produce accessible information for current and future printmakers exceeding even international limitations and drive the content for the organization. Programming developed for this conference will be hosted by SGCI long term and made accessible for members as we rethink SGCI’s digital capabilities. 

Join us in launching SGCI’s online programming and celebrate the internal changes within the organization made to better serve the membership.

The MakeReady App was created by Kate McQuillen and Bryce Meyer.

Help Create an Equitable and Accessible Virtual SGCI Event!

 

Help us Provide Closed Captioning, and Honorariums & Artist Fees for Presenters

When community members share small acts of generosity, it adds up to a greater good. This spring, we hope to make our virtual event as equitable and accessible as possible. Please consider donating to this initiative to help us provide greater accessibility to our content, and give back to the artists who will share their work with us. SGCI membership will be the only cost to members to attend the virtual event. You can take part!
