31st Annual Hamaguchi Print Week Visiting Artist Lecture (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Yozo Hamaguchi Scholarship Award and Visiting Artist Program fosters excellence in the study and practice of Printmedia at California College of the Arts. Now in its 31st year, CCA Printmedia is pleased to present a special Hamaguchi program featuring our annual visiting artist lecture by Alison Saar, and hands-on studio collaboration with the Furniture Program to transform a giant redwood table into a collaboratively carved block for printing and community gathering.

Alison Saar (b. 1956 in Los Angeles, California). Through her sculpture, drawings, and prints, Alison Saar explores the subjects of racism, sexism, ageism, and the specific challenges of being bi-racial in America. Saar’s style encompasses a multitude of personal, artistic, and cultural references that reflect the plurality of her experiences. She studied art and art history at Scripps College and received an MFA from the Otis Art Institute. She received the United States Artist Fellowship in 2012 and has also been awarded the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and two National Endowment Fellowships, and the SGCI Lifetime Achievement Award in Printmaking. Alison has exhibited at many galleries and museums, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Her art is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Baltimore Art Museum, the Modern Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
