Carbondale Arts presents “Community Service Print Projects” a group exhibition featuring student-artists of The Project Shop at the Carbondale Arts Gallery on display September 27 through November 1, 2024. The opening reception took place on First Friday, October 4, from 5-7pm at The Launchpad, with an artist talk at 5:30pm.

“Women (Im)Print”, a 2-person show by 2 women artists Katie Browne and Bailey Haines runs concurrently (September 27 - November 1) in the first gallery space.


“Community Service Print Projects” is a group exhibition of work by student-artists at The Project Shop, a local non-profit arts organization. This program engages student-artists to express their voices on critical issues by learning design development, printmaking, and production skills with access to equipment and instruction in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. These projects demonstrate how art can encourage conversation and connection within our communities.

This “Community Service Print Projects” program is made possible by an Arts in Society grant, cross-sector collaborations, and donations.


About The Project Shop

The Project Shop was established by Reina Katzenberger as a non-profit organization in 2022 and it functions as a creative incubator providing arts education through service-learning print projects, empowering student-artists to share their voices on critical issues, fostering conversation and community engagement.

The Project Shop is unique in the Roaring Fork Valley, offering space and resources as well as a model of community-based, service-learning arts education. 

Our distinctive programming regards the creative process as a collective force for a better future. The Project Shop programs nurture collective incubation for creative expression by empowering youth to artistically address social justice issues, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and facilitating service-learning opportunities with intergenerational sharing of tradecraft.

By articulating and celebrating the power of art we encourage students to find their voices and actively listen, participate, share, and learn collectively. When students see their lives as part of a larger system, they organically convert apathy and anger into expressive action. Our intensive Community Service Print Projects empower students to express their voices on critical issues.
