Today, RBPMW upholds Blackburn’s mission by providing an accessible and affordable studio environment that supports both traditional and contemporary printmaking concepts. Through fellowships, workshops, discussions, and exhibitions, RBPMW advances its educational initiatives within a welcoming environment built on fairness, shared access, and artistic excellence.
