3rd Annual Hand Pulled Prints: The Current Practice in Printmaking

This is an open call to artists for an international juried exhibition of prints at Site:Brooklyn, running September 22 – October 22, 2017. The exhibition will reflect the ambitious, innovative and contemporary in printmaking today, highlighting traditional printmaking processes in any combination of serigraphy, letterpress, collagraphy, etching, woodcut, lithography, linocut, drypoint, mezzotint, monoprint and solar plates. Digital and photographic elements may be used only as a supporting element.

The juror is Marina Ancona, Master Printer and founder of 10 Grand Press, an independent print shop specializing in fine art printing processes and techniques with locations in Brooklyn, New York and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her publishing and collaborative projects have been exhibited internationally, including the Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and other major institutions. She has conducted lectures and workshops at Bard College, Sarah Lawrence College, SUNY Purchase, and Pratt Institute, among others.
