The tenth anniversary celebration at Rockville Arts Place was a huge success. The exhibit was filled with strong work and was beautifully hung. The opening was well attended. Food was delicious, and throughout the event we were entertained by an extraordinarily talented group of musicians, “Jeanean Martin and family.” There was an awards ceremony, during which the past presidents of Maryland Printmakers were presented with specially printed aprons, and outgoing board and committee members were recognized for all their hard work. Also on view was the 1999 exchange folio.

After the opening, printmakers stayed on for the annual fall meeting. A new slate of officers was elected, committee reports were presented, and then the party resumed. Linda Harrison-Parsons held a raffle of all sorts of goodies donated by Guy Kuhn-fine art papers, Rembrandt Graphic Arts, Graphic Chemicals, Dick Blick, Irish Graphics, D’UVA Fine Artists Materials, Inc., Stones Crayons and Savoir Faire. We thank them for their generous donations. Portfolios from past exchanges were also raffled. Last, but not least, there was a wonderful 10th anniversary cake.

Marcia Brown and Bernie Shleien discuss their preferred printing techniques at the 10th anniversary party.

Past and current Maryland Printmakers presidents gang up on the cake (left to right): Richard Hellman, Susan Goldman, Linda Harrison-Parsons, Sam Peters and Phyllis Wright.
