2011 Print Exchange
The rules of the Exchange are as follows:
- Theme: Open (no theme)
- Image size: open
- Paper size: 8.5 in x 11 in
- Paper type: open
- Medium: Any hand pulled, press pulled printmaking process. NO DIGITAL PRINTS OR GICLEE’S.
By signing up for this exchange you agree to make an edition of up to 20 prints for the exchange. The exact number will be determined after the close of the Registration Period (see below). If you send in 20 prints you will get back 15 prints–because two of your prints will be kept by Corvidae Press and will be on display during Studio Tour and/or kept& in the press archives. Corvidae Press may also sell one of the prints, with proceeds going to Corvidae Press. If more than 15 people participate, we may divide the exchange into two or more groups, so as to keep the editions manageable (since there are more than 30 possible participants). This will be determined by vote of the group.
The prints in the exchange will be scanned and placed on the Corvidae Press web site, if that can be arranged with the web master. The exchange pages might have links back to the Artists own website or homepage if they choose to.
Registration period: Sign up is open until March 21st, 2011. This registration deadline should give printmakers plenty of time to make the July delivery deadline. To sign up, just email Kate and Deanna at the email addresses below. After March 21st we will let you know how many participants there are and how many prints to make for the exchange.
Delivery deadline for finished prints: Your Prints must be left at the Corvidae Press Studio for the coordinator by July 15, 2011. A labeled box will be set up for this purpose. If you cannot leave the prints at the studio, please contact a coordinator to discuss alternative delivery.
Delivery information: In addition to the final number of prints (to be determined), please also provide: Title of the print, artist’s full name, medium, paper name, kind of ink, any other information about the print or process you wish to provide. The coordinators will collate the prints and prepare a colophon.
The Print Exchange: The Coordinators will prepare the prints for distribution to members at the Studio on the July “Shop Talk ” evening or other date if the Shop Talk evening doesn’t work out. It’s very fun to have the artists talk about their images and the process of making the prints.
