Rising Tide: Artist Collaborations at Flash Flood Print Studios

On view through July 26, 2025.

This exhibition highlights the collaborative spirit and creative legacy of Flash Flood Print Studios through a showcase of prints from their Artist Print Series, selected works by participating artists, and ephemera from the studio. Founded as an artist-led, community-driven print shop, Flash Flood supported clients of all sizes while nurturing bold, high-quality projects. The Artist Print Series was created in 2019 with the aim to make screen printing accessible – offering artists a no-cost way to produce editions, celebrating the versatility of the medium, and providing affordable entry points for new collectors. With the studio’s recent closure in March, this exhibition serves both as a tribute to the APS and a retrospective of the collaborations that shaped Flash Flood over its 13 year run.

Curator bio:
May Yang is a Tulsa-based artist, designer, and printer whose practice blends typographic and calligraphic elements into vibrant abstract compositions. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, she deepened her interest in collaborative printmaking through training at the Tamarind Institute of Lithography in Albuquerque. Yang was the founder and owner of Flash Flood Print Studios, which she led for its full 13-year run. In 2019, she created the Artist Print Series as a passion project – a way to return to her roots in collaborative printmaking while supporting fellow artists and celebrating the creative potential of screen printing. The series became a central part of the studio’s mission, driven by the belief in accessible, community-based art.
