4U

Every year, Zygote Press brings together students and faculty from the printmaking departments of four local universities for an exhibition and opportunity to network with each other and the local art community. For the students, the event is an early opportunity to receive professional feedback from artists and art professionals. For the local community, the event offers a chance to preview the next generation of printmakers, and support them by purchasing their early work before it inevitably becomes more expensive later in their careers. This year’s 4U includes work form the Printmaking departments at the University of Akron, Kent State University, Cleveland Institute of Art, and Oberlin College. This one day only event takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. today. The afternoon includes demonstrations by Bob Keleman and Rebekah Wilhelm, as well as an opportunity to view student portfolios in Zygote’s studio space. Free. (Usmani)
