Graphicstudio

Graphicstudio is an art studio and print workshop at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, established in 1968 by Donald Saff. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

The studio was closed from 1976 through 1981 for financial reasons. ^[4]

With the Contemporary Art Museum and the Public Art Program form the Institute for Research in Art in the College of The Arts at the University of South Florida ^[1] and the support of then president Cecil Mackey, Saff modeled Graphicstudio after the Pratt Graphics Center, Tamarind Press, and Gemini G.E.L. The studio produced its earliest work in 1969.^{[ citation needed ]}
