As we settle into the fresh newness that is 2013, let’s look ahead at the Milwaukee art scene for this spring, one month at a time.

The big news in the first quarter of the year is that Milwaukee will soon host the 2013 SGC International Conference, a major gathering of artists, instructors, and other university affiliates connected with printmaking. The influence of the conference will soon be felt with many galleries’ winter and spring programming focusing on prints and works on paper. TCD will have plenty of coverage on this in upcoming weeks, including a primer on “What is a Print?”. Meanwhile, here are a variety of exhibitions and events to whet your artistic appetite.

1. January 

MIAD and Inova will host group exhibitions by international printmakers. The joint shows will include artists from six countries (South Africa, China, South Korea, Poland, Mexico and Argentina) and be on view in conjunction with Gallery Night, January 18.

One notable Gallery Night opening is at Peltz Gallery. Top Drawer Prints I, curated by the illustrious Warrington Colescott, will focus on artists from UW-Madison, and Top Drawer Prints II, curated by Cheryl Olsen Sklar, will emphasize Milwaukee-area printmakers, plus SGCI conference participants.
