The City of Casselberry and the Casselberry Art House cordially invite the public to experience "LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER," a unique collaborative exhibition featuring the distinctive works of two vibrant local art collectives. United by a shared love of ink on paper, these printmakers and book artists represent complimentary disciplines celebrating technique and creative expression on paper.
The Central Florida Printmakers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group of outstanding artists, both professional and amateur, teachers and students who are dedicated to the creation, support, and understanding of fine art printmaking. To create an original print, artists produce an image on a wood or linoleum block, silkscreen, metal plate, stone or other surface, and by applying pressure, transfer that inked image to paper. In addition to exhibitions of prints, the organization promotes workshops and provides public demonstrations, lectures, and college scholarships. While the group originated in Seminole County in 2017, its members can now be found statewide from Tallahassee to Ormond Beach. With a passion for both new and centuries-old techniques, and with a commitment to education and outreach, the Central Florida Printmakers welcomes new members! Many members are available for lectures and instruction.
The Book Arts Guild of Central Florida, founded in 2018 by Suzanne Oberholtzer and M.K. Shaw, is a community group open to book artists and book arts enthusiasts. Artists' books are works of art that reference the intimate scale and tactile experience of the book. We support one another's creative practices through our shared interest in artists' books. The guild provides educational programs, exhibition opportunities, and community building. Our members make handmade blank books and artist's books with unique bindings and concepts.
