Printmaking: Ancient Art Made ContemporarySeptember 19 through October 15Reception, September 23, 5:30-7:00 p.m.Jansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace, 13 E. Main St., Fremont, 231-924-4022.

From the beginning when humans would put mud, blood or paints on their hands and make prints upon walls of caves to record their stories or to communicate an event, printmaking has been an important tradition. We’ve come a long way from those days to engraving metal plates, carving wood or linoleum blocks, creating lithographs and screens to make our prints. The one thing that ties them together is the ability to make multiples, to share an image more than once, to put art in the hands of many.

This exhibit will combine multiple methods of printmaking, with the talents of regional contemporary printmakers to show how the tradition continues in contemporary times.

Alynn Guerra, Lee Ann Frame, Ladislav Hanka, Johanna Paas, Olivia Timmons, Cindi Ford, Annie Wassman, Andrew Jagneicki and Chad Pastotnik will be featured in this printmaking exhibition.

Steve Replogle: The Michigan LandscapeOctober 19 - November 12 - Reception, October 20, 5:30-7:00 p.m.Jansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace, 13 E. Main St., Fremont, 231-924-4022.

Replogle is a full time artist and craftsman, candle maker by trade. Over three decades he has been selling his candles at the Michigan Renaissance Fair as a means of supporting

his “art habit”. During his travels back and forth from the fair, he photographed Michigan’s rural and farm landscapes. These photographs served as inspiration for his acrylic ink paintings, which are often very colorful and high contrast. Steve has had the discipline of painting or sketching a landscape at least one per day, often times more, and the pieces in this exhibit have been culled from the thousands he has created over the years.
