During April 18-21 2012, the Alberta Printmakers’ Society held its annual postcard exhibition. Each year, the Alberta Printmakers’ Society organizes a hand-made postcard exhibition and exchange in the Artist Proof Gallery. Interested artists were invited to submit 10 original 4” x 6” artworks for display in the gallery. The Artist Proof Gallery displayed pieces from each submission, and each artist received 8 postcards from randomly selected artists in return by mail or during the show.

The Alberta Printmakers' Society presented SEQUENCES, our 2012 members' exhibition held at Artpoint Gallery and Studios from April 6 - 28, 2012, with an opening reception on Friday, April 6. Opposed to last year's open themed show, SEQUENCES explored A/P members' responses to the idea of narrative in relation to the artist's work. Traditional, mixed media and three dimensional print-based work was displayed during the exhibition. The chance to be visually spoiled by such intriguing work while attending SEQUENCES was just one of the perks.
The opening had a fun crowd to mingle with while surrounded by exceptional artwork. There was some unfortunate elements to the evening when we heard...
