We have participated in the Print Fair since the beginning, and we really love how visitors get to discover everything from an 18th century etched map to color woodcuts created a month ago, all in a relaxed and approachable atmosphere, said Bernard Derroitte of Armstrong Fine Art. Even if you dont end up purchasing a work of art, you still see wonderful prints of all kinds from around the world.
The aspect that separates the McNay Print Fair from other events like it is that Lyle W. Williams is on-site and interacting with guests the entire time, said Susan Teller of Susan Teller Gallery. He is in the room to answer questions and discuss anything ranging from the general aspects of works on paper to the finely honed details that only decades of Print Room experience can provide.
