SUArt Galleries will present an afternoon with Bill Goldston, master printer and director of the famed artists' workshop Universal Limited Art Editions (U.L.A.E.), Thursday, Jan. 17. He will speak at 3:30 p.m in Gifford Auditorium in H.B. Crouse Hall and will be available afterward during a 5-7 p.m. reception in the SUArt Galleries in the Shaffer Art Building.


Goldston is speaking in conjunction with the exhibition "Impressions: Jasper Johns" at the SUArt Galleries, discussing his experiences working at the renowned workshop with Johns and other influential artists.


Goldston began his printing career at U.L.A.E. in 1969 and became its director in 1982. During his 39 years at the workshop, he has mentored master printers as well as numerous artists who were eager to discover the potential of the contemporary print. This spirit of discovery and collaboration has been a hallmark of the U.L.A.E. workshop, and Goldston continues to foster this environment today.


"Impressions: Jasper Johns" is on exhibit through Feb. 3. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m., with extended hours Thursday evenings until 8 p.m. For more information on the exhibition,
