New York Society of Etchers Director Bruce Waldman has organized two separate exhibitions of contemporary artist prints to be presented in New York City's Studio 12N beginning February 5th 2005.

Waldman, an award winning printmaker, graphic artist and illustrator, assembled over 1000 exceptional prints for possible inclusion in the two shows. Fellow NYSE Directors Denise Kasof, Stephen A. Fredericks and Andy P. Hoogenboom, plus Gallery and Studio Owner Alexandra Rutsch, assisted Waldman in curating the exhibitions that comprise over 100 selections.
