The ICA's new Print Center provides a studio in the South Bay for education, experimentation and production of artworks in a progressive printmaking environment located within one of the region's leading contemporary art venues.

The Print Center is equipped with a Charles Brand electric etching press with a 32 x 60 inch bed. The studio has all the necessary equipment and tools for monotype and intaglio with either oil-based or water-soluble inks. We use an acrylic ground etching method in ferric chloride and endeavor to use non-toxic and safe methods and materials whenever available. The studio accommodates 6 artists.

The ICA Print Center also hosts an artist-in-residence program. Each year four established artists are invited to participate in self-designed residencies. These artists work directly with our master printer to create a suite of monotypes, an edition of etchings, an artist book, or another print-based project of their choosing.


Ema Harris-Sintamarian, the first ICA Print Center Artist-in-Residence, works on her copper plate etching.
