Print Specs & Details
- Paper size: 8 x 10 inches

- Theme: No theme for this portfolio. We want to showcase our members’ amazing work!
- All traditional printmaking techniques welcome, including but not limited to relief, intaglio, lithography, and screenprint. Digital output and non-traditional techniques will be accepted when accompanied by traditional printmaking techniques in a limited edition.
- Border or bleed: Print edition can have a border or bleed.
- Packaging: Each print must have a protective sheet of interleaving or glassine on top of the printed image.
Shipment of Artwork to Exchange Organizer
Artists are responsible for the cost of shipping their completed edition to the portfolio exchange organizer (located in central NY; address will be shared with confirmed applicants).
Return of Completed Portfolios
Exchange Portfolios will be returned to participants with a colophon and in a simple protective sleeve or portfolio. The packing materials the artist uses to ship their editioned prints will be used to return the completed exchange portfolio. The cost of shipping the completed Exchange Portfolio is covered in your portfolio fee. Domestic return shipping addresses only.
