When the HPC was still in its infancy, founder Krista Narciso reached out to her network of artists and printmakers, asking if anyone would be interested in donating an edition of prints that would be used as rewards for a crowdfunding campaign. The response was overwhelming. Thank you to the following artists:

Angela Earley Alves

Friendly Fire Paper

Amy Ozga

Brooke Toczylowski

Mary Kahn

Dexter Toy

Rachel Gary

Justyna Dabrowski

Mia Molloy

Maria Porada

Katie Woodward

Bethany Chase

Valerie Carrigan

Christy Jackson

One print from each donated edition has been retained by the HPC to start an archive that will be used for teaching at the Co-op.

The archive will be exhibited at our grand opening celebration.

We are working to create a digital archive of these prints that will be on view on our website soon.
