Southern Graphics Print Conference and the Daily Con
    During the last weekend in March, the Daily Constitutional participated in the Southern Graphics Print Conference hosted this year by VCU Painting and Printmaking. During the three day conference of printmakers and educators, we were able to spread the artist's voice through discussions with attendees about what the Daily Con is doing, our mission as well as passing out hundreds of copies of our current issue. We would like to thank Andrew Kozlowski and Holly Morrison for our success and inclusion at this years conference.
