Boston Printmakers 2017 North American Print Biennial

The Boston Printmakers 2017 North American Print Biennial presents the best in contemporary and traditional printmaking. Founded in 1947, the mission of the Boston Printmakers is to promote public knowledge of printmaking, encourage and support artists working in printmaking, and promote excellence and innovation within the field. The exhibition will be held at the Lunder Arts Center at Lesley University College of Art and Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from January 27 – March 4, 2018.

North American artists 18 years and older are eligible to enter. Original, innovative works in all printmaking media are eligible. Photographs, offset reproductions, or reproductions of artwork originally produced in another medium will not be considered. Submitted work may not have been exhibited in any other Boston Printmakers exhibition. Artists may submit up to three digital images of original prints completed within the past two years. The entry fee is $45 USD for non-members or $30 USD for Boston Printmakers members with coupon code. Over $10,000 is available in juror-designated purchase prizes and materials awards. The juror is Judith Brodie, Curator of Modern Prints and Drawings at the National Gallery of Art.
