susan-talkOn November 14. 20-15, Susan Rockrise, former creative director of Intel Corporation, delighted gallery guests and GAW members with a sparkling, anecdote-rich  presentation.

De Lappe and Packard, founding members of Graphic Arts Workshop, shared a passion for fine art and political activism.  We are grateful to Susan Rockrise for so vividly reviving their memory and inspiring today’s active members of GAW to carry on with the high standard of printmaking that these founding artists established at the workshop’s inception back in 1952.
