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 located in the Historic District of Downtown Gardiner.

Danae Lagoy is the new Printmaking Assistant at Circling the Square. She was hired with the help of the Maine Arts Commission Jobs Grant awarded to the press and Karen Adrienne.
Danae's first impact was seen with the new shelving construction and installation. This has transformed our entrance and exhibit space. Above Danae rolls out her first print flat at the press.
The jobs grant runs from February through June 2022.
“Funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts” and the Maine Arts Commission.
