Blurring The Lines

This exhibition invites artists to explore aspects of their work that blur or transcend specific boundaries or lines. The call asks: Do elements share common ground? Is there a complex weaving of elements making it hard to separate or identify them individually? What is obscured and what is revealed?

All entries must be handmade prints created by the artist using traditional printmaking and/or photographic processes, produced within the last 5 years. 3D and experimental work is encouraged. Accepted processes include silkscreen, letterpress, calligraphy, etching, woodcut, lithography, linocut, drypoint, mezzotint, monoprint, polymer plates, silver gelatin prints, photopolymer gravure, copperplate gravure, cyanotype, vandyke, gum bichromate, palladium, platinum, carbon, salt, wet plate, chemigram, lumen, argrotype, oilprint, chlorophyll, instant transfers, and lifts. Digital photographic images can be used in combination with other processes, but straight digital prints and AI-generated images will not be accepted. Work must arrive at the gallery ready to hang; framing is not required. Magnets, clips, and other methods can be used.
