TABLE FOR 12 WITH THE FOX SCHOOL OF WINE The Park City Library is more than just a place to check out books. Many patrons come to the library to study, read or do research -- activities that some people do in their own living rooms. So, taking the concept that the Park City Library is essentially a community living room, it becomes more welcoming with the addition of fine visual art exhibits, said Becca Lael, community engagement librarian. The library’s most recent exhibit, which will be displayed through Feb. 28, is comprised of an array of prints collectively titled “Ink. Paper. Press” by Saltgrass Printmakers, and a collection of digital and assembled wall hangings by Vincent Mattina, according to Lael. Saltgrass Printmakers’ Stefanie Dykes and Mattina spoke to The Park Record earlier this week about their works. Saltgrass Printmakers aim to educate and inspire Dykes, who, along with Erik and Br eak fa a t st Fox School of Wine will host a Table for 12 tasting from 6:30-7:45 p.m. at the Market at Park City, 1500 Snow Creek Drive. The group will taste four wines paired with meats and cheeses from The Market. The class is for ages 21 and older. To register, visit foxschoolofwine.com. SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Sandy Brunvand, co-founded art nonprofit Saltgrass Printmakers, aims to engage the community with print art and educates the community about printmaking. The works exhibited in the Park City Library’s Reading Room touches on these concepts, she said. “We wanted to show a wide representation of what the printmaking processes are and what the different visual languages looks like,” Dykes said. In addition to monochrome relief prints, patrons will see colored prints, etchings, screen prints and digital art combinations mixed in. All the pieces were created by Saltgrass’ international roster of artists, according to Dykes. “You will also see highlighted moments from our current working members,” she said. “You will see how their visual language is very different from each other, as well as what they have to say in their concepts.” Saltgrass, which was established 15 years ago, is an open studio, meaning all the artists share the equipment like presses, cutting tables, darkrooms and other workshop tools. “Each printer works independently,” Dykes said. “Some have their own keys and come in on their own time, while others come in and work directly with me.” Dykes enjoys the vast range of styles of printmaking, which helps when she is inspired to create a work. “Screen prints are different than etchings, and lithographies have the quality of drawn marks,” she said. “I do like that it involves a full range of visual languages. So when I get an idea, I have different processes, I can pull from that will support the conceptual development, and create an intuitive conversation between me and my materials.” The conversation expands when the different artists bring in their different approaches and points of view into a collective exhibit, like the one at the library. “We are able to address world issues like environmentalism and social justice, but also create more whimsical works,” Dykes said. There is, however, a common misconception that printmaking isn’t a fine art, she said. “We can be pretty commercial because some of our materials can come from industrial processes and we do make multiple images,” Dykes said. “But what people don’t realize is that each image we make is an original. So we have multiple originals that aren’t reproductions. And we make a lot of originals because we want to communicate with as many people as we can.” Dykes also enjoys being part of Saltgrass Printmakers because she gets to help other artists manifest TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD In addition to Vincent Mattina’s artistic assemblages, the new Park City Library exhibit features some of the artist’s prints that blend organic images with technology.
