Contemporary Printmaking

The Art Gallery at Western Wyoming Community College invites submissions for Contemporary Printmaking. Printmaking occupies a unique space in the contemporary art world. Printmakers, while often among the most experimental and cutting edge artists, are also paradoxically reliant on highly traditional processes. The gallery is interested in showcasing prints that speak to contemporary issues, explore fresh perspectives, or generally demonstrate the breadth of possibilities available while working—either partially or fully—within the idiom of hand-pulled prints.

Artworks must include some element of hand-pulled print (e.g., intaglio, relief print, screen print, lithograph, monotype, etc.). Artists may submit one image for $15, and up to four additional images at $5 each. Submit 1-10 images total. Artists must be 18 or older and are eligible to apply internationally.

Accepted artworks must be wired and framed in; sawtooth hangers are not permitted. Artwork will be insured by the gallery at 50% of the listed sales price, or if not for sale, at the listed insurance value. The gallery takes 50% commission on sales. Artists must ship work at their own expense and include a self-addressed shipping label for return of unsold artwork. Do not use packing peanuts. Label artwork on the back with artist name, title, medium, and price (or insurance value if not for sale). Accepted artworks must remain on display for the duration of the exhibition. The gallery reserves the right not to exhibit artworks that diverge significantly from their photographs, arrive damaged, constitute unreasonable risk, or whose artists fail to follow guidelines. Artists wishing to sell work must submit a W-9 form.
