The featured artists are Kirsti Andersson, Linda Blumer, Jim Brancaccio, Marta Dorton,
Elizabeth Foley, Glenna Hamilton, Jonas Hurley, Cristina Igelmo, Cathy Vigor and Stephen Wiggins.

Jim Brancaccio, Peerless Angels, 2016, Collagraph and collage
The Bluegrass Printmakers’ Cooperative was founded with the donation of an antique press from Lillian Boyer and the Lexington Art League to LexArts, the local arts organization, and opened in 2005. Partnering with LexArts and through their Space to Create Initiative, they operated from 2004 until 2016 in the lower level of Artsplace. Since that time the group has grown to twenty artists working in all types of print media: collagraph, monoprint, etching, woodcut and linoleum cut. Not only do members use the press to create their own art, but they also work as a group to promote printmaking through exhibitions and community outreach. In 2016 the Bluegrass Printmakers' Cooperative moved to Artworks at the Carver and now will include classes and workshops at the location through Lexington Parks and Recreation.
