Frieze Out, part 3.

Here are some not-for-profits I love that offer prints and editions.

My affection for Creative Time is well documented here and on the blog I write for them. The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia with their focus on fabric--and the wide scope of activity that encompasses-- has one of the most interesting programs of any n-f-p arts org I know. RxArt. I've been meaning to say something here about them for awhile now. Their mission, quite simply, is to "make it better" by placing art in hospitals. One recent project has Ryan McGinness decorating the NYU Child Study Center. Upcoming for RxArt is a fund-raiser, a coloring book, featuring work by everybody from Sol LeWitt to Grace Hartigan to Assume Vivid Astro Focus. And last but not least is the god-like entity that is Printed Matter. They rule.
