New Prints Program

INTERNATIONAL PRINT CENTER NEW YORK

The New Prints Program at IPCNY presents a series of juried exhibitions of current prints by artists at all stages of their careers. IPCNY accepts submissions from artists, publishers and galleries four times a year which are reviewed by a Selection Committee made up of prominent members of the print community.

IPCNY ANNOUNCES A QUARTERLY CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR
NEW PRINTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

Calls for entry are announced on
IPCNY's website, and sent to IPCNY's email list of artists.

To be placed on this list send an email to kendra@ipcny.org
program manager, and you will be added to the email announcement list.

Criteria for selection are:

Only original fine art (limited edition and unique) prints are eligible; reproductions of other artwork such as drawings or paintings are not acceptable.

Selections will represent a broad diversity of sources, geographical and otherwise.

Prints must have been completed within a year of the submission deadline.


THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE

go to their website for details on how and when to submit.

Also included are prints by Desiree Alvarez and William Howard, both from the Summer 2008 exhibit. One of the things I particularly like about the IPCNY website, is that, all of the shows that have been on the program, have been documented. Regretfully many exhibition venues do not do this and in this day and age there's really no excuse. Anyway, by doing this it fulfills it's role in the educational sense, in that you can see each of the individual artists works, plus the technical details.


I find this to be informative particularly in relation to the research I am doing for my tradigital blog, which explores how printmakers are combining inkjet with traditional techniques.

The other perspective I am considering , is from that of a practising printmaker, who is always seeking to develop my knowledge in relation to technical combinations and approaches.








One of these days I will get around to making a submission myself !!
