Communities West

is a biennial portfolio exchange. The organizational duties for the folio are handed off between Sukha Worob and Andrew Rice. 

The folio was created with the intention of building community among printmakers with unyielding ties to the Western United States. As the organizers for the project and members of the Western printmaking community, we have a vested interest in reinforcing the printmaking community in the West. In addition to building community, the project serves as a naturally evolving survey of printmaking in the west. 

The work represented is rich and varied in technique and concept. The artists in the folio are as diverse as the work and are made up of veteran and emerging printers, academics and working artists.
