Thank you for another insightful and exciting tour of your facilities! We got a behind-the-scenes look at their scanning, archival pigment and UV printing, mounting, framing and crating departments! The students had a blast seeing these processes on such a large scale, and are eager to explore more of these creative techniques in their own work!

We are thrilled to welcome renowned visual editor Elizabeth Krist as the penultimate speaker in the series hosted by our department.
