BYO Printmaking Collaborative’s 15th Anniversary year culminates with an exhibition celebrating the breadth of its current members and past collaborative works, on view in the Alumni Gallery March 21 – May 9, 2026. Co-founded in 2010 by Katie VanVliet ‘07 and Lauren Tapp (Fischer) ‘07, BYO Print opened as a shared printmaking studio in Philadelphia, with a mission to keep artists printing on their own time within a reasonable budget. Tapp and VanVliet built BYO Print with a foundational flexibility that has allowed the community to adapt and grow as new members bring with them fresh ideas and goals for their practice. Reorganized as a nonprofit in 2023, BYO Printmaking Collaborative fosters collaboration between artists, printmakers and the public by providing access to a professional printshop. BYO Print is located on the 5th floor of the Paradigm Arts Building, at 12 North 3rd Street.
This collection of works on paper, sculptures, and handmade books is curated by alumni members Claire Folkman ‘09, Kate VanVliet ‘07, Lisa Imperiale ‘09, TJ Kimber ‘15 and Rhonda Babb ‘92 and features the work of BYO's Studio Artists as well as past collaborative and curatorial projects, featuring: Ellyn Womelsdorf, Christiane Moore, Erik Ruin, Jenn Manzella, Mike Sgier, Nicole Saltzer, Emma Foster, Bill Brookover, Jude Bigboy, Lucy Henderson, Mara Elliott, Marchelo Vera, Reece Farness, Ted Mosher, Celia Connaire and Laura Murdoch.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, March 20.
