Brandywine Workshop and Archives’ Permanent Collection features the Visiting Artists Collection of prints made by over 450 artists who have participated in BWA residencies. To date, BWA has published approximately 1,100 limited edition fine art prints employing a wide range of techniques, including screen printing, woodcut, lithography, monographs, collages, and mixed-media approaches. BWA’s Permanent Collection is also comprised of more than 300 prints donated by private individuals, artists, and special collections representing the: Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (New York City); Taller Experimental de Gráfica (Havana, Cuba); Hatch-Billops Collection (New York City); and Self Help Graphics & Art (Los Angeles, CA). Work created at Coronado Print Studio and the Serie Project (Austin, TX) are represented in digital file form only.

Prints from the Permanent Collection are exhibited in the Printed Image Gallery and Glass Gallery at BWA’s Philadelphia campus, showcased in traveling exhibitions and on Artura.org, and are available for loan to other institutions. In addition to retaining two of each print published by Brandywine in the Permanent Collection, a number of the limited edition fine art prints made by Visiting Artists are maintained in our print inventory and shared by gift or purchased to establish Satellite Collections at art museums, universities, and heritage centers and are available for purchase by collectors, interior decorators, hotels, professional offices and other establishments.
