| 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.
