This interactive online experience will include in-depth educational resources and activities to encourage Canadians to learn about the history and art of printmaking. Artist's Proof will present nationally and internationally significant print collections important to the cultural history of Canada. This innovative online learning resource web site on printmaking (to be hosted on Glenbow's site and accessible from all partner's sites) will be developed in French and English.
