MGNE's second biennial National Juried Exhibition of Monotypes and Monoprints will be on display at the Fitchburg Art Museum in Fitchburg, Massachusetts from September 26, 2010 through January 2, 2011. The exhibit celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the Monotype Guild of New England in 1985.
We are very appreciative of all those who entered. There was an amazing response to our call-for-entry - 313 artists from 36 states sent submissions. 111 pieces have been selected from over 900 images for inclusion in this national exhibition. The range and quality of the work submitted was diverse, interesting, and competent, making the choices difficult for our juror, Joann Moser.

Joann Moser has been the Senior Curator of Graphic Arts at the Smithsonian American Art Museum since 1986. Dr. Moser received her Ph.D. in art history from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1976. She completed her master's degree at the University of Wisconsin and she holds a B.A. in art history from Smith College. Her book, Singular Impressions: The Monotype in America, was published in 1997. She organized the recent exhibition, What's it All Mean: William T. Wiley in Retrospect, as well as contributed essays to the accompanying book. She has written on the famous printmaking workshop, Atelier 17, and on collaborative printmaking in the United States before 1960. She has published an essay on the prints of Nathan Oliveira and has written the lead essay for an upcoming catalog of the prints of Sean Scully. The Fitchburg Art Museum was founded at the bequest of Miss Eleanor Norcross. During the years between 1880 and 1920, when Miss Norcross lived in Paris, she became deeply impressed by the quality of small rural museums and their impact on public education. She returned to Fitchburg with the idea of founding a museum that would inspire a love for the arts. She donated her extensive collection of European paintings, Islamic, Asian and European fine and decorative art, classical antiquities, her own work, and $10,000. The Museum opened in 1925. In addition to its permanent collection and changing exhibitions, it has a robust educational agenda which includes classes for adults and children. We will need help from many volunteers in many areas:
Conducting one or two day workshops
