"SAGA has a rich history. Its origins stretch back to 1915 when a group of printmakers founded the Brooklyn Society of Etchers. The following year, their first exhibit was at the Brooklyn Museum. In 1952 (several names changes later) the Society adopted its present title to reflect the all-inclusive membership which practices a full range of printmaking processes. Mary Cassatt, Joseph Pennell, John Marin, Childe Hassam and John Taylor Arms were early exhibitors of SAGA. Over the years the membership has included most of America's foremost printmakers. Membership in the Society enables artists to show their work in New York City through important exhibitions with substantial awards. Many purchase awards have been acquired by major museum collections in the United States. SAGA has long reflected the growth and changes taking place in printmaking as well as transformations in the larger world of art. The high standards of SAGA are perpetuated in national exhibitions which continue to expose the public to the best of American printmaking. (More about SAGA history) SAGA Activities SAGA is a service organization and has sponsored national and international exhibitions since 1922. Other activities include demonstrations and service events, such as a symposium on health hazards in the arts. SAGA traveling exhibitions have been shown in many museums and universities. Some exhibitions have circulated internationally under the auspices of the United States Information Agency. SAGA keeps its members informed of activities through a newsletter, SAGAzine, which lists exhibition opportunities, member activities and other items of interest to printmakers. bron: http://saga.monmouth.edu/ (29-04-2010)"@nl |
