Last week I attended my first Mid America Print Councel (MAPC) conference. This biennial conference was held in Laramie, WY at the University of Wyoming. What a spectacular event! More accessible and low key than the annual SGCI conference.

I was invited to participate in a panel discussion: Complex Utopias: Dialogues with Community Printshops. Representatives from print studios across the country were brought together to discuss the cultural and social dynamics in community printshops.
