An exhibition presenting prints by members of Laika Press, accompanied by the blocks or plates that were used to make them. Printmaking involves the use of an original object which, with the use of ink and pressure, can be used to produce multiple original prints. This exhibition is meant to show what usually remains unseen and explain some of the mystery of printmaking. Laika Press is a nonprofit Community Printmaking space focused on teaching and increasing the accessibility of printmaking for students and artists of all ages, as well as fostering a more connected printmaking community in the Reno area. We offer printmaking equipment, supplies, and education for public use. Located at 136 Vesta Street in Reno, NV, next to The Holland Project. We operate in a shared space with KWNK 97.7 FM and Oddtime Electronics. The press is available for use by appointment. Gallery West, located in McKinley Arts & Culture Center is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno.
