Handmade Prints from The New Leaf Gallery
An selection of hand-made prints from The New Leaf Gallery, the MBFA gallery's sister project.
In November of 2020 MBFA gallery owner Matt Brown embarked on a second "DBA" gallery project, a collaboration based in the city of Keene, NH, focused on the sharing of hand-made prints. He closed the Keene location in June of 2022, but the effort lives on at a location in Weybridge, VT (where Matt lives and makes prints half of every week). The gallery's focus is an online effort seeking to connect the work of printmakers with handmade print enthusiasts.
