This event will offer visitors a rare first look inside Zygote’s working studio, where Fellows will present project excerpts they created during the PROOF Fellowship. Test prints, plates, blocks, paper and other materials will remain on view, emphasizing the processes behind the work as it evolves. Organized as an open to the community event, the evening invites the public to move through the space, observe works in progress and engage with the materials and methods shaping the artists’ practices.

The opening reception for TONIC will follow on May 15, 2026 at 5:30PM.

The PROOF Fellowship supports Northeast Ohio artists by providing studio access and training in multiple printmaking techniques. Participants develop individual projects while working collectively within the Zygote Press studio.
