Now in its eleventh year, MONOTHON2009 returns to the Center for Contemporary Printmaking with a whirlwind of creative activity. For eight days in November, this marathon of monotype printmaking provides artists the opportunity to work with Master Printers in intensive, five-hour sessions to create original monotypes.

As always, MONOTHON2009 will culminate in an exhibition of selected monotypes to be auctioned to benefit CCP at the ever-popular Auction & Party. We’re delighted to announce that Guy Bennett will return to lead the live auction. To participate—as an artist, a sponsor, or a volunteer— contact CCP.
