Pressing Editions: American Labor in Print

September 3 – December 21, 2025

Pressing Editions: American Labor in Print explores the ways printmaking has enabled artists and audiences to explore urgent issues of labor in the United States. At home, in the workplace, in the studio, and in the streets, printmakers have recorded and disseminated images of Americans at work in the fields, at sewing machines, and with printing presses. With a special focus on the WPA artists of the Northeast, historic and contemporary artists present scenes of local industry, portraits of workers of diverse backgrounds, and reflections on the work that goes into their various art-making processes. By placing regional historic examples in conversation with contemporary artists such as Sean Flodd, Nina Montejano, and Adrian Tió, Pressing Editions presents a timely dialog on art as work.
