THREE DECADES PLUS: PRINTMAKING AT UTSA is a celebration of the program and the teaching of Dennis Olsen, Kent Rush, Meredith Dean, many others, and the contributions of alums and current students who have created wonderful and creative works within the practices and histories of our various printmaking mediums. We will be exhibiting works utilizing printmaking techniques produced by alumni artists while either undergraduate or graduate students at UTSA. In addition, we will exhibit recent work produced by alumni artists in their current medium of choice. The exhibition will offer a fascinating opportunity to consider “then and now.” A color catalogue will accompany the show.

Printer, painter and drawer extraordinaire: Dennis Olsen is remembered as a significant force in the international printmaking world, having given over 100 workshops from Estonia to Lima, Peru. Olsen worked tirelessly to give back to his community in co-founding the Santa Reparata Graphic Art Center in Florence, Italy in 1970, which he continued to teach at every summer for 38 years. Professor Olsen also served as an integral faculty member and taught at University of Texas at San Antonio for 33 years until his retirement and award of Professor Emeritus status in 2014.
