About the Artists This exhibition represents recent works from current Keyholder Residency Program artists and participants in the Studio Rental Program. These programs provide New York area artists access to both affordable facilities and a close knit print community; both of which are essential to self publishing printmakers. The exhibited works are a great example of both the range of techniques and experimentation possible at the shop and the high caliber of work being produced there. As a former Keyholder, it is exciting to see the continuation of these programs and the expansion into the beautiful Midtown facilities. It continues to be a much needed contribution to printmaking in New York City and the print community at large. - Glen Baldridge Lower East Side Printshop 306 W. 37th Street, 6th FloorNew York, NY 10018 212-673-5390 info@printshop.org www.printshop.org DAN ALVARADO (b. 1985, New York, NY; lives in New York, NY) Select exhibitions include The New Gallery +15 Window Space, Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Climate Gallery, Long Island City, NY; Rogue Space Chelsea, New York, NY; Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, Silver Springs, MD; and City Without Walls, Newark, NJ.
