Parsons Print Club Meeting Today: Senior Show

Today (Thursday, April 25th) at 3:15, the Parsons Print Club will be having an informational meeting in the print studio (4th floor of 66 Fifth Ave.) regarding a possible year-end show on the 10th (and maybe 4th) floor.
We will be seeing who can commit to submitting and hanging this show, which would be curated by printmaking faculty member Paul Marcus. Ideally, interested students would have total involvement so everyone can say they helped out. It will be loads of fun! So make sure you stop by to get all the information on this great opportunity.
Any underclassmen interested in helping out, this is a great chance to learn how to handle and hang prints.
If you can’t make it to the meeting, send an e-mail to newmi70 [at] newschool [dot] edu for the information. Screen Shot 2013-04-22 at 3.45.25 PM
