The Davison Art Center exhibition for fall 2018 presented a fascinating selection of artworks from the permanent collection. Focusing on the DAC's deep and broad holdings of European and American prints, Salon 2018 featured a rich mix of works, many of them seldom seen in DAC public exhibitions.
This first full exhibition for the 2018–2019 year followed a short-term installation of works from the permanent collection for two special purposes in September.
