OPEN CALL

Juried Printmaking Exhibition

Entry Deadline: Friday, May 6, 2022 at Midnight

Notification of Accepted Works: May 8, 2022

For this exhibition, we seek print and print-based artworks exploring the language of printmaking as told though the expressive, emotional, and evocative mark-making utilized to create prints. Printmaking -at its core- is a medium in which the marks, lines, strokes, incisions, stipples, stencils, and ink are as personal to the artist as fingerprints, and often the only evidence of the artist’s hand in this reproducible medium. This exhibition seeks work that relies on unique perspectives, exploration and technical prowess told through the language of printmaking.

We welcome the artist’s interpretation of Printmakers’ Marks in all its forms.

Our juror, Dave DiMarchi, will review entries in all print-based media in two and/or three dimensions.

Eligible Works: The exhibition is open to all printmakers and artists working in printmaking, 18 years and older located in the United States. All two-dimensional and three-dimensional print media will be considered; including, but not limited to Relief, Lithography, Screen Print, Letterpress, Intaglio and Monotype/Monoprint; digital printmaking processes will only be considered if accompanied by traditional hand-pulled printmaking techniques. Installation- and sculpture-based printmakers, book artists, papermakers and expanded media printmakers are equally encouraged to submit work.

Two-dimensional work must not exceed 48” (including frame) in any direction. Three-dimensional work must not exceed 18” in any direction and must not weigh more than 15lbs.

Entry Fee: Artists may submit up to three artworks with their submission fee.
