SGC Chicago: Open Portfolio sessions, What Cheer!
One of my favorite rituals of the SGC conferences has always been the open portfolio sessions: a room full of artists of all ages and skill levels, bearing their work to a community of peers.
Due to the overwhelming and frenetic nature of this event I’m only able to post a small handful of pictures of the many great examples of print on display. For the same reasons I don’t know the names of many of the artists whose work is posted here; if you see your work please let me know and I’ll add proper credits, or if you want it removed for any reason we can do that as well.

Thanks for all the help with attributing the work, especially Veronica, who seems to have her finger on the pulse of Knoxville printmaking.
