Printmakers Guild of NY is an artist-led group of printmakers working in a wide variety of printmaking mediums.
We meet regularly in New York’s Capital Region and online to share resources, skills and passion for printmaking. PGNY honors the diverse paths artists may take to printmaking, and seeks to broaden access to and awareness of this rich medium.

How Do I Join PGNY?
PGNY is a growing community of artists who celebrate all things printmaking! We believe that professional opportunities for artists can be artist-led, co-produced, and amplified through overlapping our personal networks and public outreach.

2024
Our 2024 project was an exhibition, Printmakers Guild of New York 2024 Showcase
Our November 2024 exhibition presented a diverse selection of work created by artists working with prints, print-based media, and printmaking. The exhibition showcased regional emerging and established artists working within or outside of academia; in community or social practice; and who are engaging with the possibilities of the medium outside of New York City.
The exhibition was generously hosted by CREATE Community Studios in Troy, NY and curated by PGNY members: Ruben Castillo, Assistant Professor, Skidmore College of Art; Leona Christie, Associate Professor of Studio Art, SUNY-Albany; Gretta Keene, Artist and Printmaker; Nathan Meltz, Senior Lecturer, Department of the Arts, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY.
The exhibition featured work from over 50 artists across Upstate New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Click below to learn more about their work and creative careers.
