The Triton Museum of Art presents Expanding the Field; New Ideas in and Beyond Print (Aug. 30, 2025 – Jan. 11, 2026) by The California Society of Printmakers. This is a juried exhibition, juried by distinguished artist, Monique Martin. To explore the expansive and rich historical past of printmaking, artists working in the medium will be experimenting with a variety of contemporary ideas, themes, and techniques using traditional methods.

The California Society of Printmakers is America’s oldest non-profit, member-run, printmaking organization. This exhibition will be a curated selection of works from artists across the United States; this is an opportunity for the selected artists to showcase their most innovative and evolving creations. In the national call for artists, entrants are highly encouraged to conceptualize works beyond the traditional bounds of printmaking – to embody structures that expand beyond the paper’s edge, extend off the wall, interlocks, and even express in multiples – telling a great story.

For this exhibition, Expanding the Field; New Ideas in and Beyond Print, artists have been invited to submit work that incorporates any form of hand pulled printmaking, with end results including, but not limited to: large scale print work, innovative/experimental print techniques, modular assemblages, installation, sculptural elements, art book constructions, two-dimensional prints, and more.

The juror for this exhibition, Monique Martin, is an internationally recognized, multidisciplinary artist from Saskatoon, Canada with a 25-year exhibition history who has exhibited her artwork in hundreds of significant solo, invited, and juried exhibitions in numerous countries.

Expanding the Field; New Ideas in and Beyond Print went on display in the John and Eve Mathias Gallery on Aug. 30, 2025.
