It was founded in 1990 by David Jones and Marilyn Propp. It is known for the quality of its prints as well as its educational programming.〔Second Sight: Printmaking in Chicago 1935-1995," by James Yood. Essays by Mark Pascale, James Yood, and David Mickenberg (Mary and Leigh Block Gallery, Northwestern University, 1996), p. 50 and 51.〕 ==Programs== For twenty years, Anchor provided free classes for high school students, and had an outreach program called Press on Wheels (POW) which brought printmaking into schools, galleries, museums, and community centers.〔 Workshops were open to students of all ages who learned to create handmade prints. During the Toulouse-Lautrec and Rembrandt exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago, a press was brought to the museum, and Anchor staff demonstrated the print processes and tools used by both artists. Ann Weins writes in DEMO 3, pages 24–28: "Anchor Graphics maintains an impressive schedule of classes, workshops, residencies, and lectures, all the while publishing exquisite, hand-pulled prints."〔 The Artist-in-Residence Program was created to provide uninterrupted use of the shop by national and international printmakers for research and the development of new work.
