About Normal Editions
Normal Editions is a non-profit print research facility. Our team of staff, students, and faculty work with visiting professional artists to create fine art prints. The result is an outstanding collaborative experience that goes far beyond the usual classroom.
Our studio is located in the Center for the Visual Arts building room 129, on the south side of campus.
Mission
Normal Edition's mission is to publish original fine art limited edition prints as a collaborative team of students, staff, faculty, and visiting artists in a professional print research setting to create new works of art, educate, and expand appreciation of print media.
