The Nancy Luton Printmaking Student Education Fund Application
In 2020 we established an education fund to support students who are interested in learning about and enhancing their skills in printmaking. Nancy Luton, a Houston artist who donated her time, energy, and money to printmaking efforts at PrintMatters, Burning Bones Press, and the University of Houston, was one of our original members and we are proud to name this fund in her honor.
Nancy Luton was instrumental in the early years of PrintHouston. She not only contributed her time and energy, but donated the money needed to launch our many city-wide events. When she passed away in 2020, the organization established the Nancy Luton Printmaking Education Fund. We have been honored to award monies to applicants to attend printmaking workshops and classes all over the U.S.
As a life-long learner, educator, and artist, Nancy loved printmaking and was very involved in the success of the first cooperative printmaking studio in Houston in several years: Burning Bones Press. She would be excited to learn that the two organizations she worked to establish have now joined forces to bring printmaking to even more Texans.
