Normal Editions Workshop
| Normal Editions Workshop (NEW.) was founded
in September of 1976 in the College of Fine Arts
at Illinois State
University (ISU), Normal, IL. This workshop
continues its role as a distinctive non-profit research
facility with a close affiliation with the University and
its mission "...to expand knowledge and culture among
students, colleagues, and the general citizenry through
teaching, research, and service."* NEW's facilities
are located adjacent to one of the School of Art
student printmaking studios in the Center
for
the
Visual
Arts building on campus. A close rapport remains
between the NEW. staff and the students, faculty, and
administration of the University. *ISU 2011-2012 Graduate Catalog, page 5. |
