Emerald Print Exchange 2026

Whiteaker Printmakers and Print Arts Northwest are delighted to announce the 9th 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 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.

PAN at the Gathering of the Guilds

We are excited to share that PAN has been invited back to the Gathering of the Guilds Show at the Oregon Convention Center. This three-day show runs from April 24th to 26th and draws over 13,000 visitors each year. Come browse hundreds of original works by PAN members available for purchase. In addition to selling prints, our members will be doing printmaking demonstrations adjacent to our gallery, so come learn more about many interesting forms of printmaking.

This year, PAN’s printmakers will be joined by the potters, handweavers, beadmakers, woodworkers, sculptors, metal arts, and faceters guilds. Only guild members are invited to show work at this event, so it’s a well-curated and high-quality show featuring the region’s finest craftspeople. Over 350 artisans’ works will be on display at over 200 booths.

Did you know that PAN has a lending library of print-specific books, covering all print techniques, print history, biographies, and collections of many printmakers? There are books as well for young learners and practitioners. The collection is available to browse through in the PAN Office during Wednesday office hours. Books may be signed out for at home enjoyment as well.

This reminder of the library is also a request to members for donations of printmaking books that you may be divesting yourself of. PAN would love to accept them as valued additions to the library.
