The 2024 Red Press Collaborative program welcomes Michael Weigman as this year's guest artist.
The Red Press Collaborative is an annual event that hosts a celebrated printmaker for one week to work with Youngstown State University art department students. During that time, a limited-edition print is created in collaboration between the visiting artist and art students. The final print will be made available for ownership via a donation of $125.
Weigman is an artist, printmaker and educator living in Columbus. He received his master's degree from Northern Illinois University with a focus in printmaking. Much of Weigman's work explores a personal mythos, combining elements of his suburban upbringing, obsession with history and fascination with subcultures found in extreme metal music.
Beyond being a practicing artist, Weigman manages the print shop Upright Press and is a member of the Columbus Printed Art Center and a freelance illustrator.
Weigman will work on the publication of his print from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Nov. 8 in the printmaking studio in room 4025 of Bliss Hall. He will present a portfolio talk and hold a reception 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in room 4025.
The public is invited to watch the creative process. Admission is free.
