“Spudnik press is committed to ensuring that the craft of printing is within the reach of all individuals who wish to use it as a creative medium. To this end our goals are: to create a culture of learning to support the artist beyond the project to maintain relevancy to our community through programming, spudnik press focuses on creating multiple avenues for its community members to grow their artistic practice. Thus, we are able to meet artists where they are at. We also endeavor to be a hub where individuals with diverse disciplines, and of varying ages and backgrounds, can engage together. We believe that this engagement allows ideas from a variety of communities to create a cross-pollinated visual culture within chicago.”
