Madison has long been a center for progressive printmaking and this day opens some of the inner sanctums to the public. Madison College will show off its brand new state-of-the-art print lab at the Truax campus (Room D1507) from 1-4 p.m. with demos, souvenir letterpress prints and the chance to screen print a T-shirt. Polka Press, 2132 Fordem Ave., will be open from 7-9 p.m. for a member exhibition and to show off its letterpress, screenprint, non-acid etching, relief, monoprint, and Risograph equipment. These events are in conjunction with the Southern Graphics Council International annual conference, March 16-19, hosted by the UW-Madison Art Department and School of Education this year; there are also art exhibits happening all over Madison, including at the Chazen, which hosts a reception from 5-7 p.m. March 18 for its Pressing Innovation exhibition.
