The Sausalito Center for The Arts (SCA) is proud to present the first Annual Sausalito Print Marketplace, a two day show and sale on December 9 & 10 from 10am to 5pm. “The event highlights some of the finest, most creative print makers of the Bay Area,” said SCA executive director Shiva Pakdel.

Along with Pakdel, Zeny Cieslikowski, serves as Print Marketplace Director and Don McCartney, serves as Print Show Committee. Their collaborative efforts to put together this one-of-a-kind show in and of itself says boldly that, “print isn’t dead!” Especially printmaking and original graphic design as an art form.

“You’ll see Woodcuts, Intaglio and Etchings which are just a few of the types of printmaking skills in this, the first all-print show in Marin County,” noted Cieslikowski.

“Even though print making and prints have been around for as long as 5,000 years, beginning in Sumeria, said Cieslikowski, the Sausalito Center for the Arts (SCA) will be home to the first all-print show and sale in Marin County,” he reiterated. Cieslikowski knows, most definitely this type of art form isn’t dead, it isn’t fading away. It’s still just as important and relevant, just in a different way. McCartney & Cieslikowski will be among the 15 artists displaying their work at the exhibit.

“When you enter the SCA at 750 Bridgeway, said Pakdel you’ll not only see hundreds of works of art hanging and spread out on tables but you’ll meet and chat with the creative artists in a comfortable, relaxing and informal setting.”

Emphasizing that this exhibit and sale is an ideal opportunity to get an early start on the holiday shopping, she added. “While you savor a class of wine and munch on a holiday cookie you’ll learn about printmaking while shopping for that perfect holiday gift for yourself or for family and friends.”

“Many of the print makers in the Print Marketplace have exhibited their creative work in exhibitions all across the United States as well as in many foreign countries,” Pakdel said. “The SCA is fortunate to be able to host this talented group of artists who will be exhibiting and offering their inspired prints, etchings, woodcuts, photographs, linocuts, monoprints and others,” Pakdel said.

Again, she also reiterated “this unique exhibit and sale experience is for two days only.”
