The Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions was founded in 1986 as an international forum for the exchange of ideas in print and papermaking. Its purpose is to enable groundbreaking artists to create new work in reproductive media through its artist-in-residence program. Diversity is central to its mission, and the center has consistently supported artists from under-represented groups who make challenging work, especially women and artists of color. The Brodsky Center is housed in the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
