Anchor Graphics is a community-based, non-profit fine art print shop, dedicated to advancing the art of printmaking through education, outreach and production. The organization offers printmaking classes and exhibitions as well as access to equipment and technical assistance. As part of the organization’s relocation to Columbia College, the design team collaborated closely with the founder and consulting engineers to optimize the spatial concept, work flow and technical (structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing) requirements.

“We needed a functional work space while maintaining a sense of openness and order and at the same time offering a visually pleasing environment for outsiders to see when visiting.

Working with Audrey was an engaging and wonderful experience, because as the client we felt our very specific needs and concerns were listened to. I would highly recommend working with Audrey.”

David Jones, Co-Founder Anchor Graphics
