Platemark: Prints and the Printmaking Ecosystem


Platemark is a podcast about art and ideas. Hosted by Ann Shafer and Ben Levy, formerly colleagues at the Baltimore Museum of Art, conversations focus on museums, curating, critiques, value (market/conceptual), the Western canon, and prints and printmaking.

Platemark host Ann Shafer is thrilled to announce the first Baltimore Fine Art Print Fair is scheduled for April 29-May 1, 2022. Ann and Tru Ludwig talk about the print fair's origins as a production of the Print, Drawing & Photograph Society of the Baltimore Museum of Art. That former fair ran from 1990-2017, and has been shuttered.

Ann, along with partners Brian Miller and Julie Funderburk, have created a new, commercial art fair. More than twenty presses, publishers, dealers, and galleries will be in town offering the latest in contemporary prints and editions. The fair takes place at 1100 Wicomico Street in Baltimore's Pigtown neighborhood. The gigantic 1915 warehouse boasts 44K plus square feet of space on its top floor and offers panoramic views of the city. A convenient parking garage is attached to the building (entrance on Ostend Street). ADA access is through the front door on Wicomico Street. Details and tickets are available at baltimoreprintfair.com.
