About this event

Join Boston University Art Galleries for a gallery talk by Dr. Elizabeth Rudy. Rudy was the distinguished juror from the 2023 North American Print Biennial. She oversees the objects in the Harvard Art Museums’ print collection, which spans the Renaissance to the contemporary era, and gives frequent public lectures on both historical and contemporary prints. Her talk will focus on the prints in the show.

The Boston Printmakers return to Boston University to present its 2026 North American Print Biennial, in 808 Gallery. The juror for the exhibition is Esther Adler, Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, New York. The exhibit features a broad array of contemporary prints and artists books, spanning traditional to contemporary/integrated media approaches, with both emerging and established artists from across North America. The exhibition includes examples of etching, lithography, woodcut, linocut, screenprint, digital printmaking and dimensional works, in which the artists explore a rich diversity of conceptual and narrative content.
