Contemporary Printmaking

The Art Gallery at Western Wyoming Community College is accepting 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 1-5 images total. Artists must be 18 or older and are eligible to apply internationally.

Accepted artwork must be wired and framed in (no sawtooth hangers permitted) and must remain on display for the duration of the exhibition. Artists will ship their work at their own expense and must 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 if not for sale, include an insurance value. The gallery will insure artwork while on display at 50% of the listed sales price, or the listed insurance value if not for sale. The gallery takes 50% commission on any artworks sold. Artists wishing to sell work must submit a W-9 form. Entry deadline: 10/12/2022. Jurying complete: 10/15/2022. Accepted artwork due at gallery: 10/25/2022. Exhibition dates: 10/31/2022 - 12/2/2022.
