# Graphicstudio

Graphicstudio is an art studio and print workshop at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, established in 1968 by Donald Saff.

The studio was closed from 1976 through 1981 for financial reasons.

Graphicstudio with the Contemporary Art Museum and the Public Art Program form the Institute for Research in Art in the College of The Arts at the University of South Florida. With the support of then president Cecil Mackey, Saff modeled Graphicstudio after the Pratt Graphics Center, Tamarind Press, and Gemini G.E.L. The studio produced its earliest work in 1969.

The National Gallery of Art houses the Graphicstudio archive.
