AIR projects reviewed in Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on February 25th. 2010
Since artists Robert Beckman and Ian Short founded Artists Image Resource on Pittsburgh’s North Side 14 years ago, it has become an influential leader in printmaking in the larger visual-arts community in the tri-state area. Producing museum-quality prints in many different media, Artists Image Resource is home for professional printmaking and also is emerging as an important educational institution in the region.
Each year since it opened, Artists Image Resource has initiated new work by three to six working artists under the guise of resident artists’ projects, which provide the engine for all other studio activities. The projects start as early as January and normally end with an exhibit in December.
“These projects have allowed us to create a laboratory environment that truly focuses on expanding the practices of individual artists,” Beckman says.
This year, Artists Image Resource supported three artists — William Fick, Stefan Hoffmann and Mark Franchino — whose works, Beckman says, “have influenced almost every visible aspect of this organization — from educational outreach material, to in-house production methods, to the look of our bathroom doors.”

The Cloudy Collection
My friend David Huyck has put together a collection of letter press cards by several of his favorite artists.
“The Cloudy Collection is an ongoing collaboration with artists whose work I love. Every three months (or so) we will release a new collection of original, limited-edition prints for very affordable prices (US and Canadian shipping is free!) Plus, a portion of the sales will go toward an environmental organization.” -David Huyck
