PROOF is a group exhibition showcasing a range of printmaking techniques, approaches, and critical investigations. The show invites viewers to immerse themselves in a display of printmaking in myriad forms, where narratives and images juxtapose and converge to explore how this medium enables introspection and connection within a creative community. The exhibition's title references experimentation, when a proof is a preliminary version of a printed piece, offering a unique opportunity to witness artists in the process of trial and innovation. Beyond the artistic process, PROOF also emphasizes the tangible evidence of creativity, physical, tactile art that mediates communication between the artist and audience. Through the works of featured artists-Gordon Barnes, Lucas Cantoni Jose, Chris Chandler, Matthew Letzelter, Will Mairs, Sam Orosz, marvin parra orozco, Rory Sparks, and Cammy York- PROOF weaves together narratives, culminating in a multigenerational and multilayered exploration of individual and collective identity, placemaking and publics, and the palimpsest of creative production.
