SAVE PRINTMAKING
April 3, 2000
To: Dean H. Randolph Swearer
We wholeheartedly commend you for withdrawing the plan to close the Printmaking Department. We are glad you recognize the essential place of fine arts and especially printmaking in a design school. We are sure you will use your best efforts to protect their presence.
Parsons/New School Print Atelier has a rich history and is a magnificent resource for artists, designers, illustrators and photographers. It offers a tremendous avenue of art expression and a place to come together.
Your involvement and willingness to listen has given students, faculty, and the administration an opportunity to plan the future of one of the most loved and used print atehers in the world. We look forward to a broad based consultation including students and faculty from the BFA, AAS, Continuing Education and Special Programs of Parsons and representation from The New School.
