Printmaking: From Traditional to Experimental

Core Art Space invites all printmakers to participate in this exhibition focusing on handmade works using the techniques of relief, intaglio, lithography, silkscreen and/or monotype/monoprint. Core is interested in presenting high quality works, from those using traditional techniques to ones that push the boundaries of those techniques. From abstraction, non-objective, representational to experimental - show your best work. Handmade works only, no reproductions. Up to 3 entries must be submitted electronically by Tuesday, January 20, 2026, accompanied by a $35.00 fee.
