Artists:
Dustin Brinkman, Danqi Cai, Yangbin Park, Joseph Lappie, Nicole Malcolm, Liz Maugans, Roberto Torres Mata, Erin Wohletz

The "Printer’s Choice Line", formerly the Artist Curated Paper Line, has been selected based on feedback from various artists who have experimented and worked with the fine art paper produced by hand at the Morgan Papermaking Conservatory. This line of paper is ideal for editioned works.
