2024 Extreme Pressure 2nd Biennial of America Prints Opening Reception

The Webber Gallery of the College of Central Florida invites you to the opening reception for the 2024 Extreme Pressure 2nd Biennial of American Prints!

This exhibition is the second biennial competitive national exhibition organized by the Webber Gallery of the College of Central Florida. Open to all forms of traditional printmaking, the exhibition will present a celebration and examination of contemporary printmaking by artists throughout the United States.

This year’s juror, Katherine Brimberry, will judge the entries and select five works to receive cash prizes based on her selections.
Purchase awards totaling a minimum of $2,500 will also be made through local organizations with some works entering the permanent collections of the College of Central Florida.

Brimberry is known for her “painterly” etchings as well as her skills as a collaborative intaglio master printer. She has made her home in Austin, Texas for over 40 years. Her work is a part of the Library of Congress, 3M Permanent Collection, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas, Galveston Art Center, Amarillo Museum of Art, the Texas Tech Library and others. In 1989, Brimberry co-founded Flatbed Press to be a publishing press for fine art prints and open studio for artist-printmakers. Now sole owner, she serves as the director and lead collaborating master printer.

The Webber Gallery welcomes you to this opening reception, where you will have the opportunity to explore these incredible works and celebrate our featured artists. The second “Extreme Pressure Biennial,” will be on view from Aug. 5 to Sept. 12, 2024. Our opening reception will be held Aug. 22 from 5-7PM, where light refreshments will be served. Admission is free and open to the public.
