Established in 2000, Manneken Press publishes and exhibits original limited edition and unique prints, portfolios, artist’s books and works on paper by contemporary artists. An international roster of Invited artists come to our studios in Bloomington, IL to create original works of art in intaglio, relief, lithography and monotype, working closely with master printer Jonathan Higgins. The works, produced in-house in close collaboration with the artists, are printed by hand using traditional techniques and the finest inks and papers available. Manneken Press exhibits at fine art fairs throughout the United States and has been the subject of several survey exhibitions.
