New Leaf Editions: An Exhibition Celebrating 39 Years of Printmaking

Join us on Friday, October 24 at 6:30pm for a reception to unveil a special exhibition in celebration of the extraordinary legacy of — one of Vancouver’s most iconic and influential printmaking studios.

For nearly four decades, New Leaf Editions has been at the forefront of Canadian printmaking, collaborating with some of the country’s most celebrated artists, including Bill Reid, Robert Bateman, and Rebecca Belmore. Their work has shaped the landscape of contemporary print in Canada, and their reputation as master printers is unmatched.

This exhibition — taking over our entire studio — brings together a stunning “best of” collection from New Leaf’s 39 years, including works by Susan Point and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun. It’s a rare opportunity to see, in one space, the artistry and vision that has defined New Leaf’s contribution to Canadian art. We’ll be joined by New Leaf founder and Master Printer, Peter Braune.

Come explore nearly forty years of groundbreaking work, honor the enduring impact of New Leaf Editions, and raise a glass with us to celebrate their incredible legacy.

This event is free, but wine will be available for purchase. Please RSVP here to reserve your spot.
