Impressed 2020 National Printmaking Exhibition

Art Gym Gallery invites artists to submit work to the 4th Impressed national printmaking exhibition. Launched in 2016, Impressed celebrates a cross-section of both traditional and alternative printmaking methods being used in contemporary printmaking from artists of all professional levels. This exhibition runs in conjunction with Denver's Month of Printmaking (Mo'Print), a celebration of the art of making original prints to inspire, educate and promote awareness through a variety of public events and exhibitions in Denver and the metropolitan region.

Eligible artworks must be original works utilizing a form of traditional hand printed media as their primary technique but may include digital output elements. Submissions may include monoprint, monotype, screen print, etching, engraving, drypoint, photopolymer, photogravure, collagraph, stone lithography, plate lithography, woodcut, linocut, steamroller, letterpress, and book-arts. Ineligible artworks include those composed solely of inkjet, laser prints, pigmented prints, risograph, photocopy, laser engraving, or giclée reproductions. Artists may submit up to 3 images for consideration. The non-refundable submission fee is $25. There are no size limitations on artworks. All framed art must be securely wired and use plexi-glass (no glass). Artists must be United States residents and 18+ years old. Art Gym Gallery will receive a 30% commission on all work sold.
