ABOUT US
Anchor Press, Paper & Print (AP3) is a non-profit community-based printshop. Our mission is to advance the fine art printmaking tradition by providing education and studio access for emerging and professional artists and for people of all ages, ethnicities, and genders, and by educating the public about fine art printmaking processes.
​
AP3 creates partnerships with other arts, educational, and social organizations in the Milwaukee area and beyond, to better carry out our vision of providing public access to hand printmaking and papermaking.
​
We provide a place for artists to make prints using our equipment for a monthly fee, and we offer workshops on printmaking and papermaking, as well as various public events: artists' talks, lectures, and gallery shows.
​
For 25 years, the previous iteration of AP3, Anchor Graphics, Chicago (1990-2015) published editions and offered workshops, shop access, artist-in-residence programs, internships, exhibitions, free lectures, and other community outreach programs. Now, with a new studio, new community, and new city, AP3 is open in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI.
