MakeReady: A Virtual SGCI Event
We Missed You! Reconnect with SGCI and fellow printmakers around the world this April!
MakeReady was a weekend of virtual events via Zoom webinars and meetings, on April 10th and 11th, 2021. Members submitted and voted on content for the first time in SGCI history.
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.
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.
SGCI is proud to present the MakeReady conference videos.
Pre-Recorded events are publicly available.
Special thanks to Valerie Dibble and Sarah Jaston for editing the MakeReady videos.
