National Serigraph Society


The National Serigraph Society was founded in 1940 by group of artists involved in the WPA Federal Art Project, including Anthony Velonis and Max Arthur Cohn. The creation of the society coincided with the rise of serigraphs being used as a medium for fine art. Originally called the Silk Screen Group, the name was soon changed to the National Serigraph Society.
The National Serigraph Society had its own gallery, the Serigraph Gallery at 38 West 57th Street in New York City. They published a quarterly newsletter called the "Serigraph Quarterly." The Society had lectures, published prints, and coordinated traveling shows.
