Tolkien's “The Lord of the Rings.”

A decade of printmaking

The University of Guam Isla Center for the Arts opened a new exhibition, “The Island Voices: UOG Alumni & Student Printmaking Exhibition & Paper Boats Project Portfolio” on Oct. 23.

Curated by UOG Professor of Art Irena Keckes, Island Voices highlights more than a decade of creative output from UOG’s FA 203 Printmaking Studio classes.

Featuring over 180 works by students, alumni, and faculty, the exhibition includes linocut, woodcut, screen print, intaglio, lithography, monotype prints, and monodrawings.

“The exhibition summarizes the accomplishments achieved through printmaking classes in the FA 203 studio over ten years,” said Keckes. 

The second half of the exhibit, “Paper Boats Project Portfolio,” features contributions from artists across North America, Europe, China and Guam. Presented as unfolded sheets, the artists explore the theme of water through a variety of printmaking methods.

The project was initiated by Los Angeles Printmakers and artist Mary Sherwood Brock and has been exhibited previously in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Italy, and Los Angeles.
