Rush Arts rich exhibition history of nearly 2,000 exhibited artists include important early, pivotal exhibitions by, as just a few examples, Kehinde Wiley, Wangechi Mutu, Simone Leigh, Hank Willis Thomas, Dread Scott, Sanford Biggers, Renee Cox and more. The 25th Anniversary Print Portfolio both commemorates this vital artistic history, and captures Rush Arts ongoing, energetic support of bold new artwork for new audiences.

The artists for the portfolio were selected by artist, curator, professor and current Rush Arts Board Member Berrisford Boothe, and founder Danny Simmons. The portfolio was produced by the Brooklyn Editions, on of New York’s premier printmaking studios, under the auspices of Owner and Master Printer Stephen Gross.
