Buckham Fine Arts Project in partnership with Factory Two is pleased to announce BFAP: On Screen
Buckham Fine Arts Project launched BFAP: On Screen in 2020. On Screen is a collaborative printmaking project that fosters ties between multiple communities: artists, nonprofit organizations, and collectors. The project involves pairing invited artists with community-based Flint nonprofit organizations. Artists create original images highlighting the work of each non-profit. Then working closely with printers at Flint’s Factory Two, artists learn the screen printmaking process to create limited edition posters for each organization. Participating artists receive an honorarium for their creative and physical work on this project.
The limited edition prints will be sold by Buckham Gallery and proceeds from sales will be donated to the featured nonprofit organization, as well as two signed prints for their collection.
The first On Screen print to be finished featured Genesee County Youth Corporation's REACH program and was created by Flint artist Zach Lang. Latinx Community & Technology Center was the featured non-profit for the second On Screen print, created by Buckham Collaborator and Flint artist, Matthew Osmon. The third print to be completed features the Whaley Children's Center by Buckham Collaborator and Flint artist, Emily Legleitner. The final print for 2021 featured the Flint River Watershed Coalition by Janice McCoy, Buckham Collaborator and Flint artist.
Currently in progress:
The Porch Project by Nancy Pennell, Buckham Collaborator.
Sylvester Broome Empowerment Village by Matthew Osmon.
We completed 4 editions featuring 4 Flint community-based nonprofits by the end of 2021. Our goal is to complete four prints in 2022, with two currently in progress. Ultimately, as COVID-19 allows, BFAP will host a culminating exhibition to reveal the collection of prints.
