Circling the Square Fine Art Press opened in 2007 to offer printmaking artists in Central Maine an opportunity to share a studio, ideas, techniques, and information, and collaborate with other printmakers. This open-access press is designed to combine the best of the 500-year-old traditions of printmaking with the safer, new technologies of the 21st century. The press is located in the Historic District of Downtown Gardiner.
Circling the Square Fine Art Press got a new ceiling in their storefront window display area! Come by to see our new look and new exhibit.
