In April 2005, Seattle Print Arts will hold a juried exhibit of socially engaged printmaking at Seattle's Phinney Neighborhood Community Center. The exhibit will showcase print art which uses themes of social justice and global equity to engage community members in political conversation.
Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are encouraged to submit work. We hope to showcase work by over 100 artists.
MEDIA INCLUDED: "Print art" featured in this exhibit can include monotypes, silkscreen, letterpress, stenciling, etching, block prints, hand-processed photo prints, or any kind of printing on paper that retains some evidence of the human hand. Digital prints will be accepted if the medium is used in combination with a traditional technique.
SIZE: The maximum size of prints for this exhibition is 24" x 36".
HOW TO SUBMIT WORK:
By email: Submit images of your prints via email to both josh(at)justseeds.org and to Seattle Print Arts at paperpolitics(at)seattleprintarts.org. Jpeg files are preferable; please make sure that the image is high enough quality that we can get a good idea of what the actual print looks like.
By mail: If you do not have access to a means of sending digital images, you can send prints or slides to: Josh MacPhee, P O Box
476971, Chicago, IL 60647 USA Please include your name and contact information, and indicate the title, medium, and size of the print(s) submitted. Only one print per artist selected will be included; however, feel free to submit several images for us to choose from. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your prints or slides returned.
ENTRY FEE: Only artists selected for the show will be asked to pay a fee. Entry for the show is free, but artists whose work is chosen will pay $15 to help produce a catalog and defray other expenses.
FRAMING: Work will be presented unframed; please do not submit framed work if your work is selected.
SALE OF PRINTS/PRICING: Artists who wish to offer their work for sale may send one or more prints from an edition of the work selected to be sold at the exhibition. In keeping with our theme of accessibility of the work, we ask that the price of prints for sale not exceed $200.
