On a brisk Sunday morning, North and South High School Art Departments hosted its first collaborative community art project.

The planning began in the Spring of 2025 with October 12, 2025, as the official event date. High school art students designed and carved the majority of the 3/4 inch wood panels. The carving process took over 100+ hours between both schools. For most students, they had experience with the reduction relief cut method and were familiar with the printmaking process. It is essential to provide students with varied art experiences that continue to shape their appreciation, understanding, and engagement for the creative process and collaboration.

We were excited to bring this to the high school level so that our community can experience the art of printmaking using a 3-foot roller. In addition, encouraging attendees to try making their own linoleum and lego print.

A BIG thank you to our art teachers and the National Art Honor Society members. 

The event would not be possible without the support of North administration, Michael Lubach, Ben Gasper, Ampersand Supply Co, Sargento, and The Thai Express Food Truck.

This event was supported by a grant from the Sheboygan Area School Distict and Utely Education Foundation. 

Proceeds from the sale of the prints go towards both art programs.
