The submission deadline is 15 August 2012, and I encourage you to send topics, stories and suggestions for this special issue to lrgibbons@me.com. The MAPC Journal thrives on the active participation of its many supporters.

This issue will focus on initiatives in printmaking collectives, community organizations and institutions. How do new or renovated print shops affect their immediate community and the broader landscape of contemporary print? In what ways do individual artists, educators, and curators fuel these efforts? What entrepreneurial projects and innovative programs complement these changes, and which ones successfully keep printmaking at the forefront of our attention?

Please contact the editor prior to the deadline to discuss your proposal.
