We are committed to the exploration of the offset
process as a creative medium, and to that end
functions as a research facility within the university. Students in Printmaking, Graphic Design,
Illustration, and other disciplines have the opportunity to work with this commercial process first
hand creating a variety of projects, from show
posters and promotional postcards to fine prints
and artists’ books.
The Center also supports the advancement
of knowledge in other disciplines within the university by facilitating the publishing of scholarly
and studio research. Publishing of research can
take the form of a manual, book, portfolio, etc
that can be disseminated to the outside community. Alumni, faculty, and professional artists are
invited to propose projects in the Borowsky Center.

Through the generosity of the Richard C. von
Hess Foundation, the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts invites visiting artists to explore
the creative potential of the offset medium. The
Center facilitates image making as a synthesis
of handwork, photography, and digital imagery.
All imaginable combinations of traditional and
electronic prepress are the subjects of experimentation. Selected artists work with a master
printer in the Center to create an original print or
an artist book. These artists are recommended
from a broad array of disciplines including fine
arts, photography, illustration and graphic design.
The average residency is 3-5 days. In that time
the artist will work on their project, participate in
dialog with students who are interested in seeing
the progress of the piece, and give a public lecture/
presentation of their work to the University community. The visiting artist receives a stipend as
well as room and board. The edition is split 50/50
between artist and the Center. Residencies are
available by invitation only.
