Announcements & Events
PAN's second inclusion at Gathering of the Guilds in Portland was a great success on many fronts! We included over 300 pieces from 61 PAN members, and held 3 days of demonstrations showcasing a range of printmaking techniques. With over 13,000 attendees, this show gave PAN unusually strong exposure to the public and the broader arts and crafts communities. PAN friends from near and far reunited, shared stories, and educated visitors, with almost half of our current membership coming to the show. The show led to new member inquiries, workshop interest, newsletter subscribers, and interest in our exhibitions and member shows, helping us continue adding value to our organization over the months and years ahead.
We sold 50 pieces through combined sales by PAN artist members and Emerald Print Exchange sales, with additional funds raised through donations and demo donations. Total show receipts exceeded $9,500 by the show's end, with over $4,600 in commissions returned to artist members. Please let us know if you are able and willing to help next year! This was a BIG EVENT for a small organization like ours to pull off, and we'd love to have even more members involved next year.

At the Annual meeting in December, we voted to raise the Artist Member dues to $100 due to a rent increase at our headquarters at the Multnomah Arts Center. It's important to PAN that you renew for 2026 ASAP.
If you're not a juried Artist Member, you can apply for Artist Membership or support PAN’s work through a Collectors Club or Patron or Supporting Membership (without having to apply).
If you have been a member in the past and want to be included on the Gallery page of this website and in PAN group shows, no need to re-apply, just pay your dues now for 2026.
Whiteaker Printmakers and Print Arts Northwest are delighted to announce the 9th annual Emerald Print Exchange. Registration closes May 31, 2026. (Note that we'll close registration as soon as 200 artists sign up, which may be before this deadline.)
Join us in our mission to engage with printmakers around the world, to exhibit new works in Portland and Eugene, and to raise funds for our non-profit organizations.
Each participating artist sends us an edition of twelve hand-pulled original prints. We send each artist ten randomly selected prints by other participants. We retain two prints from every edition we receive, to be exhibited and sold for PAN and WhitPrint fundraising. We use some of the images online to promote the Emerald Print Exchange.
The Emerald Print Exchange is open to all printmakers. It is limited to 200 participants, in order of registration.
