Monotype Guild of New England:

40 Years of Unique Prints

Sixth National Monotype/Monoprint Juried Exhibition

May 4 – August 31, 2025

The Art Complex Museum
189 Alden Street, Duxbury, MA

Hours: Wednesday-Sunday, 1-4pm

 

For four decades, the Monotype Guild of New England has championed the art of the monotype and monoprint, fostering a vibrant community of printmakers dedicated to the expressive potential of one-of-a-kind prints. MGNE celebrates this milestone with Monotype Guild of New England: 40 Years of Unique Prints, a national juried exhibition showcasing the breadth and innovation of contemporary printmaking.

Internationally acclaimed printmaker Karen Kunc’s expertise and artistic vision make her uniquely qualified as juror for this exhibition. She selected the prints in the exhibition from 645 works submitted by 238 artists. “Monotypes and monoprints are remarkable forms of printmaking, allowing artists to embrace spontaneity and creativity,” said Kunc. “It’s an honor to jury this milestone exhibition and to celebrate the incredible talent and innovation of this artistic community.”

Featuring works from 73 artists across the United States, this exhibition highlights the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of monotype—a process that embraces spontaneity, experimentation, and individuality. Unlike traditional printmaking techniques that produce multiples, monotypes and monoprints yield singular impressions, making each print a distinctive exploration of form, texture, and color. This exhibition exemplifies how traditional printmaking techniques can be reimagined in a contemporary context.
