NORTH POLE stuDIO PARTNErshiP

Mullowney Printing is proud to partner with North Pole Studio in a collaborative project that brings inclusive, community-centered printmaking to life. Artists from North Pole Studio join our studio to explore traditional and experimental printmaking techniques. Guided by our master printers, this partnership is rooted in shared creativity, mentorship, and the belief that fine art belongs to everyone. The resulting body of work from our first collaboration was realized in the exhibition Future Mythologies, featuring North Pole artists Eva Adneral, Aaron Cunningham, Annie Rose Macer, Dan Tran, and Scott Tullock.

North Pole Studio is a Portland-based organization that supports artists with developmental disabilities through meaningful engagement in the visual arts. The studio provides a professional, inclusive environment where artists can develop their individual creative practices, build community, and access opportunities for exhibition, collaboration, and income. Its mission is to foster self-determination, creative growth, and social connection through full participation in the arts.

Future Mythologies

The resulting body of work from our first collaboration was realized in the exhibition Future Mythologies, and portfolio of the same name. This portfolio brings together prints by North Pole Studio artists Eva Adneral, Aaron Cunningham, Annie Rose Macer, Dan Tran, and Scott Tullock, developed through a six-month printmaking residency with the master printers at Mullowney Printing Company. Working across monoprinting, etching and drypoint, linocut, screenprint, and letterpress, the artists approached each method as an open inquiry rather than a fixed goal. Process, reflection, and collective critique shaped the work, allowing ideas to circulate and evolve across the group. The resulting prints form a shared visual language, layered, symbolic, and expressive, reimagining folklore, identity, and storytelling through ink and impression. While rooted in the exhibition, the portfolio stands as its own record of experimentation, exchange, and the making of new mythologies.

UEPF began in 2021 with the mission to support and nurture artists’ careers as printmakers and practicing studio artists. This program offers enriching opportunities for artists working in traditional print media to expand their technical skills and knowledge base through learning experiences in a professional print studio.
