CAMPAIGNS

Forward @ 40

The campaign for the next chapter of The Printing Museum.

2022 marked the 40th anniversary of The Printing Museum opening its doors to the public. Four area printers founded the museum with a vision to share their collections of rare artifacts and vintage printing equipment with the public and to explore how the printing arts contributed to the development of civilizations around the world.

Witha goal to raise $400,000, the FORWARD @ 40 campaign supports the relocation of our facilities to Midtown near other cultural partners and attractions, granting artists greater access to our studio resources, and technology and facility upgrades to grow our outstanding exhibition and education programs.
