Lynk Collective (LC) is a diverse group of printmakers located in Southern California dedicated to promoting arts in the community. Established in 2017, the group collaborates on a range of projects and exhibitions using various printmaking techniques. Nguyen Ly has led these endeavors offering classes and printmaking instruction.
One of LC’s focal areas is high quality handmade bookmaking, and as of 2022, the collective has produced various books in sequence as a collaboration. They have completed a new hardcover book called “Tension”, that is published in print globally, and available to buy in most retailers. (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.)
