Print Paper Book Concentration | Minneapolis College of Art and Design

Print Paper Book Concentration

Ink, Paper, Process, &
Endless Options

Within MCAD’s Fine Arts major the Print Paper Book concentration offers a hands-on learning experience across three disciplines: printmaking, papermaking, and the artist’s book. By investigating traditional processes, new technologies, and historical context, students expand the definition, audience, and possibilities of these versatile media. Course offerings encourage students to develop formal skills and craft while actively questioning how images, objects, and information are conceived and disseminated.

“A professor recommended I take a print course to expand the vocabulary of multiples that I was developing in my work. After taking courses in the Print Paper Book department, I knew it would be the path I would follow for the remainder of my undergraduate career.”

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
