Dayton Printmakers Cooperative

The Facility
The co-op space is one large heated and air conditioned (1025 sq. ft.) loft with a wall of windows providing North light. There is an additional space of 225 sq. ft. that houses the new non-toxic screen printing facility.

The street entrance, second floor door and the co-op space are all secured to ensure the safety of the members and equipment. The building houses several other artists' studios, a small kitchen area, rest rooms, and has a shared freight elevator. There is a ramp to the elevator, making the Print Co-op wheelchair accessible.
