Join Flatbed in celebrating the legacy of Jerry Manson, who served as Flatbed’s Master Printer of editioning from 1990 - 2002 and Master Printer Emeritus from 2002 until 2019.

To honor Manson, this exhibition will highlight his lithographs and etchings along with the relief work of Brooke Burnside. Burnside, Flatbed’s 2024 Jerry Manson Residency awardee.

Flatbed is proud to announce its annual Community Studio group exhibition.  Known as Flathead Printmakers, each is a member of the bustling Community Studio where they have access to lithographic, intaglio and letterpress equipment.  Flatbed is excited to see a growth in membership over the past year and is even more excited about the work being created in the Community space.

Flatbed is excited to present an exhibition of new monotypes and an etching by Jeffrey Dell.  The exhibition’s title “Tidal Waive” alludes to both the fluid spacial elements seen in many of these prints and a resistance to find titles for the singular works in the monotype series which are premiering in this exhibition.  Dell uses traditional printmaking media to create works on paper that explore the fluid perception of space. 

Field Notes on Augury: ISTI MIRANT STELLA:  Flatbed is pleased to present a selection of works by Serena Perrone spanning printmaking, ceramics, glass, photography, and text. Often taking cues from literature and art history, her varied bodies of work are unified by the use of color and recurring symbols, relying heavily on process, workmanship, and decoration. The works in this exhibition record instances of both wonder and trepidation when confronting the landscape and natural phenomena. Isti Mirant Stella (“they marvel at the star”) is a nod to the auspicious appearance of Halley’s Comet as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry of 1066, as Perrone proposes the possibility of reading the past and gleaning clues to the future through close attention to the terrestrial and celestial realms.

Flatbed is pleased to present “The Love and Money Show,” an exhibition of monoprints created at Flatbed during Covid by Texas-based artist Maricela Sanchez. Sanchez uses her creativity and craftsmanship to break down barriers between art and daily life. Over the past 35 years, Sanchez has worked as a high-end industrial designer and practices as a painter, printmaker, sculptor and mixed media artist.

An exhibition of works from Flatbed’s archives where one will find old friends and lots of surprises. Showing Dan Rizzie’s untitled chine collé monotype, 32 x 24 inches.

Nearing the end of 2020, we take a look at the wonderful prints created during and in spite of one of our world’s most difficult years

Inspired by her close connection to nature, and by what she calls “the spirit of investigation and observation of the natural world,” Suzi Davidoff creates mixed-media drawings and paintings, prints and installations that consider intricate patterns in nature and the overlaying systems used to observe, map and define organic landscapes.

Her recent monotypes, created at Flatbed Press, involve the vanishing species of birds that have historically inhabited the Rio Grande basin. Select monotypes from her sessions at Flatbed along with recent drawings will be on exhibition with “Vanishing Avians.”

Flatbed is delighted to invite you to join us and 63 other international exhibitors on October 14th at 12 Noon EST for the online edition of the E/AB Fair.
