Press on Wheels
Bringing the press to the people!
We love getting out of the studio and seeing people experience printmaking for the first time.
To do this we often work with organizations and school groups such as:
-
Future Urban Leaders
-
The Milwaukee Art Museum
-
The Museum of Wisconsin Art
-
The Bindery




Community Events
There's tons of ways to hang out at AP3 throughout the year! Our yearly Valentine's Day event is one of our favorite. Here's some other highlights-
-
Rubber Stamp Jam
-
Steamroller printing
-
Riverwest 24 bonus checkpoint printing




Emerging Artist Residency
Our residency is a bridge from college to a lifelong arts journey. Artists have a unique path and lifestyle, and there's no universal manual for it. Upon graduating college, many artists feel like they've been thrown into the ocean without a life jacket. We learn how to make art in school, but what happens next? Our yearlong program is here to help answer that question.
Residents recieve:
-
24/7 printshop access
-
Professional development
-
A culminating exhibition
-
Mentorship from artists of various backgrounds and stages in their careers




Internships
Our internships aren’t just about learning printmaking techniques (although we do love that part!). There’s so much to being an artist and preparing for life outside of college, from overcoming self doubt to exploring the many paths artists can take to make a living. We go over all sorts of professional practices like artist statements and bios, websites, business cards, writing proposals, etc. Our interns get to meet artists of all sorts of backgrounds and mediums and expand their artist community outside of their school life which will help in their transition after graduation. We tailor each internship to their interests and where they’re at, so sometimes we bring in artists for studio visits or we could be helping them build conceptual or research based work for their portfolios.
