About Shop Swap
Shop Swap is an annual print exchange exhibition between the Center for Contemporary Printmaking (CCP) and a rotating selection of outside print studios and workshops. The prints on view at CCP represent work of the member artists associated with that outside organization while prints by CCP member artists are exhibited at the other organization. This program is designed to both increase visibility for CCP member artists by providing an opportunity to exhibit in another country and to bring work by artists from other community print shops to our city. The exhibition on view at CCP consists of prints made by artist members of the East London Printmakers (ELP) while CCP member prints are being exhibited concurrently at ELP.
