528.0 Regional Juried Printmaking Exhibition 2020

The 528.0 Regional Juried Printmaking Exhibition is open to artists residing within a 528.0 mile radius of Denver, Colorado. This includes the entire states of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico, as well as portions of Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Iowa. The exhibition will take place at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in Arvada, Colorado, filling the Main Gallery (nearly 6,000 square feet) and concurrent with an exhibition of Print Educators of Colorado in the Center's other two exhibition spaces, all in conjunction with Denver's Month of Printmaking (March 2020). The exhibition is sponsored by the Invisible Museum.

The exhibition aims to highlight both traditional and alternative printmaking methods in contemporary printmaking. Submissions must utilize a form of traditional hand-printed media as their primary technique but may include digital output elements. Eligible techniques include monoprint, monotype, screen print, intaglio, photopolymer, photogravure, collagraph, stone or plate lithography, woodcut, linocut, steamroller, letterpress, and book-arts. Book-arts submissions must contain printed artworks and cannot be blank journals or inkjet-based text blocks. Installation, mixed media, video, and audio work will be considered if they include hand-pulled prints and are accompanied by detailed presentation/installation instructions and images. Finished artworks composed solely of inkjet, risograph, photocopy, laser engraving, or giclée reproductions will not be accepted. The Arvada Center has basic projectors, media players, and an assortment of TV screens available for new media work.

Entry fee is $35.00. Applicants must submit 1-3 images (and optionally up to 3 audio or video files) online via callforentry.org. There are no size limitations on artworks. If accepted, all artworks must arrive framed and gallery-ready with wire or d-rings installed on 2D framed artwork. Shipping instructions will be sent to accepted artists; artworks should arrive no later than December 20, 2019.
