PAN at the Gathering of the Guilds
For the first time, PAN will have print booths at The Gathering of the Guilds along with 7 other craft guilds. This is a huge event; more than 15,000 spectators and art collectors will be there with over 300 artists exhibiting. PAN will have framed pieces as well as print bins, so we will need you to bring in some fresh matted prints for this event. PAN also has the option to allow member artists to rent their own booth; we have extra 10 x 10 booth spaces reserved, and these will be $500 each for the weekend, (our cost) and will be sold on a first come first served basis. The deadline to reserve those is March 31st. Please contact our new secretary, Laura Cox to reserve: laurakcox@gmail.com
There will be a planning meeting for the event on April 1st at 7:00pm; please contact Laura if you would like to be included. We will need the help of as many volunteers as we can get at the show for our PAN gallery booth. We will also have a demonstration station showcasing printmaking techniques, joyfully fulfilling our mandate to educate. Please use the link below to sign up to help with set up, demos, sales, or breakdown.

Accepting New Prints
We have completed a review of our existing collection, rotating out older work and accepting new pieces. We have some exciting events coming up this spring, so bring us your ideas and connections, and some fresh prints!
Our board has grown, and we have taken on an ambitious list of fundraisers and events, including, for the first time, participation in Gathering of the Guilds next month. Please volunteer to help with this exciting new opportunity for PAN! Other events include studio visits throughout the Willamette Valley, and The Emerald Print Exchange, led by Whitprint. This Fall, we’ll be holding a Steamroller Fundraiser, so start carving a big block! A year-long Emerging Printmakers Residency program will commence in the Fall, meeting monthly with lectures and critiques.
We are writing grants to fund an improved website and hire help to launch it, so we are seeking supporters at all levels to pitch in financially, or help remotely to input data. Do you know a talented young person who is seeking an internship? Send them our way!
8th Emerald Print Exchange Open
Whiteaker Printmakers and Print Arts Northwest are delighted to announce the eigth annual Emerald Print Exchange. 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 organization.
How It Works: 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.
May 31: Registration closes. (Note that we'll close registration as soon as 200 artists sign up, which may be before this deadline.)
