Ink and Impressions: 110 Years of the Society of American Graphic Artists — Valerie Richardson interviews Jennifer Reynolds-Kaye and Bill Behnke

In this episode, Valerie Richardson sits down with Dr. Jennifer Reynolds‑Kaye, Director of the Housatonic Museum of Art, and guest Bill Behnke to explore Ink and Impressions: 110 Years of the Society of American Graphic Artists. Behnke is a former president of SAGA. We talk about SAGA’s legacy and what it means to mark the organization’s 110th anniversary with its 90th annual members’ exhibition—150 hand‑pulled prints by artists whose works span intaglio, wood engraving, lithography, mokuhanga, and more. We highlight how the show bridges past and present—featuring historic names like Isabel Bishop, Rafael Soyer, Ruth Leaf, and Anne Chernow alongside today’s innovators. The exhibition runs September 10, 2025–February 13, 2026 at HMA in Bridgeport, CT.
