Dear BAIA Fam,
If you’ve ever wondered why printmaking is such a powerful entry point into collecting serious contemporary art, we have something special for you. This recent video by Moriah Alise, “20 Artists to Discover at the Fine Art Print Fair,” delves into the craftsmanship, history, and long‑term value of prints and works on paper.
This isn’t a trend list—it’s a collector‑focused conversation about discovery, process, material, and building a thoughtful collection over time. In the episode you’ll learn:
- How a print fair differs from other art fairs and why prints are not secondary to painting or sculpture.
- How collectors (both new and seasoned) use works on paper to build and deepen their collections.
- What to look for when discovering artists at an art fair, from printmaking techniques like relief printing and monoprints to linocuts and drawing.
- Insights into artists working in cultural memory, abstraction, identity, narrative, social responsibility, and material process.
Watch the video now, share with your community, and then join us in person at the BAIA Fine Art Print Fair, returning to Houston February 6–8, 2026 at the Houston Museum of African American Culture. See you there!
