The ZACC is thrilled to be hosting Last Best Print Fest ‘Liminal Spaces and Thresholds’ – a gallery show that celebrates the art of printmaking by displaying prints from over 40 amazing printmakers on the theme ‘Liminal Spaces and Thresholds’, all of which showcase the wide breadth of techniques and styles within this unique art form. Along with the portfolios on display, the show includes a selection of works from this year’s featured artist David Miles Lusk.

David Miles Lusk is an artist living and working in Missoula, Montana. David received his Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Printmaking from the University of Montana in 2014. He is inspired by the intersection of science and mythology, and nature & humanity. David’s career in printmaking started nearly in tandem with the beginning of the ZACC Print Shop. David started volunteering at the ZACC way back in 2009, while he was attending the University of Montana for Fine Art. In 2010 he spent a year at the ZACC working as an AmeriCorps VISTA, helping to flesh out and expand the mission of the Print Shop. That year David helped found the Last Best Print Fest with fellow ZACC Print Shop volunteer Sam Berry, and helped with the event again in 2011. David graduated from the University of Montana in 2012 and in 2016 founded his relief print on paper business Anomal Press. Over the years he has volunteered and taught classes at the ZACC. David's art practice has grown up alongside the ZACC, and he is proud to see the Last Best Print Fest, and ZACC Print Shop still going strong.

To further glorify the art of printmaking in all of its splendor, the opening will feature a linoleum printmaking demo in the ZACC Gallery, presented by David, from 5-7 PM, along with BYOT (Bring Your Own T-shirt) screen printing from 5-7:30 PM. So be sure to bring your own light-colored t-shirt, tote bag, bandana, or other textile, so that you can leave with your own David Miles Lusk-designed Last Best Print Fest souvenir!
