Why do fine art prints (etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, screenprints, etc.) and printmaking draw such fervent practitioners, collectors, and fans? Find out how prints were the first internet disseminating images since the mid-15th century. Find out why it takes a village to make, sell, study, and collect these affordable beauties.

    Jan 13 2026

    Since 1915, the Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA) has survived world wars, the Great Depression, and the digital revolution by doing one thing: keeping the press rolling. In this episode of Platemark, we're going behind the scenes of the cornerstone of American printmaking with three powerhouses who have steered the ship—Diego Briceno, DeAnn Prosia, and Esther Schwalb.

    We dive into SAGA's gritty 110-year evolution, from its origins as a Brooklyn etching club to its current status as a national titan championing inclusivity and technical mastery. Discover the secrets behind their longevity, the "radical community" that supports artists for a $75 annual membership, and why this legacy is more vibrant today than ever before. Plus, don't miss the SAGA 90th Annual Exhibition, Ink and Impressions, on view at the Housatonic Museum of Art now through February 16, 2026.
