Chicago Printmakers Collaborative

About Us

For over 33 years, the Chicago Printmakers Collaborative has provided press time, gallery, classes, events and a work studio for artist-printmakers to pursue their work in all mediums of printmaking. The gallery features some of the finest hand pulled prints in the world created by both local and international artists. Classes are multi level and include instruction in the traditional mediums of Screen printing, Etching, Lithography, Monotype, Relief, and Book Arts. CPC faculty have many years of experience and most also teach at area universities. The studio opens its doors regularly for open houses and events, and participates in several neighborhood festivals, including CPC's own Steamroller Fest, which occurs every 2 years. CPC also participates in Open House Chicago in the fall and EXPO Chicago in the spring. The studio is located at the gateway of the Lincoln Ave North Arts District, just north of the Ainslie Arts Plaza. Ample parking is available on Western Avenue in front of the shop.
