Past Exhibitions
In Good Company brings together printmakers from Flatbed’s Community Studio in a dynamic exhibition of new work. Rooted in collaboration and experimentation, the show reflects the shared energy of the press—where ideas are exchanged, techniques evolve, and prints emerge through collective effort.
Flatbed invites its printers, interns, staff, and members to curate selections from our extensive print inventory for this special exhibition. Spanning 36 years of publishing, Flatbed’s archive includes hundreds of prints by artists from across the globe.
Sandra Fernandez explores migration as an emotional and transformative experience. Using monotype, lithography, and hand sewing, she constructs dress-forms from fragmented images and text. These sewn garments hold memory, labor, and resilience—embodying a state of becoming shaped by loss, endurance, and hope.

Flatbed is pleased to present an exhibition of monotypes by our 2025 Jerry Manson Artist in Residence, Colleen Blackard. Blackard, a recent MFA graduate from the University of Texas Austin, connects external and internal landscapes through monotype printmaking and installation. She worked at Flatbed for three months on a series of monotypes that were influenced by her recent travels in Italy. This exhibition will feature Blackard’s ambitious multilayered works from her residency including two large installed works.

Throughout its history, Flatbed Press has welcomed sculptors into the collaborative environment of the print studio, where ideas rooted in three-dimensional form find new expression on the picture plane. These collaborations demonstrate that printmaking is not simply a means of reproduction, but a medium of discovery. Here, sculptural thought is translated through line, tone, texture, pressure, and the physical act of making an impression. In some works, the sculptural object itself becomes the matrix, collapsing the distinction between sculpture and print. Together, these works reveal printmaking as another language for sculptural thought.
