Our Values
At Mullowney Printing we are dedicated to growth. We practice this through self reflection, challenging ourselves to adapt to community needs and align our actions with our values. As part of our commitment to upholding these principles, particularly as systemic inequities increase in the arts and beyond, we remain steadfast in supporting artists, fostering collaboration, and advancing the art of fine printmaking, while ensuring that our practice remains inclusive and accessible. We have outlined six values that are at the core of our work: Craftsmanship, Humility, Accountability, Creativity, Abundance, and Education.
