On any given day, year-round, you can see original prints being made in Austin. Austin happens to be one of only about a half dozen printmaking centers in the U.S. You can see them here, you can make them here, and you can learn about them here. You can see world-class examples at the University of Texas Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art and at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. The biggest, baddest contemporary artists make original prints.
