2008 Printmaking Reunion

The UTK Printmaking Alumni Reunion took place on the first night of the SGC Conference in Richmond, Virginia on Wednesday March 26th at the Capital Ale House. Twelve UT alumni were able to attend and to receive marvelous door prizes offered by the UT Bookstore. Below is a picture from the gathering. Our 2009 Reunion will take place in conjunction with the SGC Conference in Chicago, Illinois in March 25-28, 2009.
