Counterproof Press fosters creative exchange through a variety of collaborative initiatives, bringing together artists, writers, and students to explore the intersections of printmaking and other disciplines. Our Visiting Artist program invites contemporary artists to experiment and produce new work in our studio, while Happenstance provides a space for spontaneous, student-driven projects that emphasize hands-on learning. Through our partnership with the Wallace Stevens Poetry Program, we further connect printmaking with literary arts, transforming poetry into tangible, printed forms.
