Portraits of artists. Portraits of everyone. Portraits of anyone.

Anyone who has left a mark, made a dent or cracked a wall, applied color to canvas or brushed their fingers through water, darned yarn or punched a typewriter, defended and resisted, held the room breathless in their particular way of passing through. 

The Staple is presented by the IPRC, and produced by Sunny Bleckinger.
