Artists Talk - Home & Family: A Printmaking Exhibit

Join us for an engaging Artists Talk featuring acclaimed printmaker Jamaal Barber and participating artists from Home & Family: A Printmaking Exhibit. Presented at Taylor-Grady House, this informal conversation offers insight into the ideas, processes, and personal narratives behind the work on view. Artists will reflect on themes of home, community, memory, and belonging, followed by audience questions. Free and open to the public.

Home & Family: A Printmaking Exhibit brings together established and emerging voices to explore the idea of home as both a physical place and an emotional landscape. On view at Taylor-Grady House from February 6 - 27, 2026, the exhibition reflects on belonging, kinship, shared care, and the networks of people and memories that shape who we are. Featuring work by acclaimed Atlanta-based printmaker Jamaal Barber, alongside fourteen University of Georgia student artists and two UGA faculty members, the exhibition showcases a range of printmaking techniques. Together, the works offer layered perspectives on identity, family, community, and resilience, emphasizing storytelling as a powerful tool for connection.

Presented in celebration of Black History Month, Home & Family highlights the strength of intergenerational dialogue and collaborative learning, underscoring the role of the arts in fostering understanding, empathy, and community within a historic setting.

The exhibition is organized and hosted collaboratively by the Black Artist Alliance, Printmaking Student Association of the University of Georgia, and Taylor-Grady House at Landmark Commons.
