Merrill Shatzman, associate professor of the practice of visual art, and Bill Fick, visiting assistant professor of the practice of visual art, have works in the upcoming nationally curated exhibition of forty-five printmakers, The Print Fantastic, at the Theater Art Galleries in Highpoint, North Carolina. John D. Gall, a North Carolina artist and printmaker specializing in intaglio, curated the exhibition and notes that the opportunity was "a curator's dream: to select artists whose works I personally liked, with no restriction of theme and no requirement that the show be a 'survey of printmaking,' where the emphasis is to show all types and techniques being done today in the world of printmaking from old to cutting edge."
