Crown Point Press announces Summer Choices, a group exhibition featuring prints published by the press and dating from 1977 to 2011. On display June 7 – July 9, 2016, it includes twenty-two prominent artists who have worked at Crown Point to create original prints by using the varied techniques of etching. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with our long-standing Seasons Club whose members enjoy special benefits in beginning or expanding their art collections. Summer Choices provides a view into the range of depth achievable through etching, a venerable medium in which the press has specialized since its founding in 1962.
