In partnership with Eureka! House, we have two talented Printers-in-Residence helping with Center for Artistic Activism projects: Willa Goettling and Mary Tremonte.
Goettling and Tremonte have been hard at work over the past weeks creating marvelous flags, bandanas, posters, flyers, and more for our Unstoppable Voters and Free the Vaccine for COVID 19 campaigns.
Willa and Mary have been working overtime in a frenzy of collaboration; designing, problem-solving, printing, shipping–all with such good humor and creativity and flexibility. (We love them.)
Look at these beautiful things they’ve made!

They’ve had the support of a wonderful community of printmakers in the Hudson Valley, like Women’s Studio Workshop and Invisible Hand In Tivoli, NY, who lent their facilities and time to help bring some of these projects to life!
They’ve also had the support of Eureka! House, the extraordinary new residency program in Kingston, NY led by our friend Sam Liebert.
