Time Pieces
"Time Pieces," an exhibition of ten original fine art prints
celebrating time and anticipating the future,
continues through November 5, 2000. Consisting of
works from the members of Printmakers Inc., the exhibition is made up of
original prints and artists' books in a wide variety of techniques.

Concurrently with the Museum's exhibition, a group of larger prints by the same ten artists will be shown at the Donovan Gallery, 3879 Main Road at Tiverton Four Corners. "Printmakers Inc. at Large" will continue through October 14.
The
ten artists of the group work and teach in a space called the Torpedo Factory
in Alexandria, Virginia. They represent a wide variety of print styles,
from collagraph and woodblock to intaglio, monotype and screenprint. Member
Carol FitzSimonds, who lives in Newport and is an active member of the Newport
Art Museum, created a silicone intaglio (see upper left) of a white Newport "cottage" on Kay Street. She was
drawn to the building by the wonderful patterns created by the summer light
through the carved wooden railings. (right: Barbara Romney, Travel
