Flatlands Press in collaboration with our sister press Hoofprint Press is creating the next print in a series of masks that I began in 2016. This print will pay homage to the work of AfriCobra and will be available for purchase in the next few weeks. Proceeds from the sale of the print will go to the Raise It Up Fundraiser Sponsored by CPG, on behalf of the South Side Community Art Center. This fundraiser will provide improvements to the ceiling and lighting in the Dr. Margaret Burroughs Gallery. The South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) is the oldest independently-owned African American art center in the United States. Founded by Margaret Burroughs and other African-American artists in 1940, the SSCAC boasts connections to printmakers Charles White and Elizabeth Catlett, photographer Gordon Parks, and the first woman to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize, Gwendolyn Brooks.

Pictured prints are previous Mask in the series.
