Guest Artist to Present Lecture, Screen Printing Workshop
Dennis O’Neil
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Dennis O’Neil, professor of art at the Corcoran College of Art and Design and founder of Hand Print Workshop International, will present a lecture at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, in room 213 of the Fine Arts Center. O’Neil will also give a screen printing workshop from 1:20 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, in the Fine Arts Center’s printmaking studio.
A leading artist in contemporary screen printing, O’Neil’s time is divided between his own work and collaborative printmaking projects with artists from all over the world through his non-profit studio, Hand Print Workshop International (HPWI). His personal and collaborative works have been featured in multiple exhibitions worldwide, including the recent Eye on Europe exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
O’Neil founded HPWI in 1973 in Alexandria, Va., and it remains successful today as a non-profit collaborative printmaking studio known for producing diverse and experimental work. HPWI has sponsored more than 70 artists from the U.S. and abroad through its residency program, which allows artists to produce innovative work and share their ideas through educational lectures and exhibitions within the community. The studio also offers internships for high school and college students.
Work produced through the HPWI studio has been displayed in galleries around the world and purchased for many distinguished collections including the World Bank, Duke University Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Library of Congress and the New York Museum of Modern Art.
O’Neil has been a professor of art at Corcoran College in Washington, D.C. since 1987 and has also served as art department chair. In 1989, he founded the Moscow Studio, the first Russian-American/American collaborative printmaking studio in Russia, and was its director until 1996. He holds degrees from Muskingum College and Ohio University.
Both events are free and open to the public. O’Neil’s visit was made possible by the department of art in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.
