Emerald Print Exchange
Whiteaker Printmakers and Print Arts Northwest are delighted to announce the seventh 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. The Emerald Print Exchange is open to all printmakers. It is limited to 200 participants, in order of registration.
Registration closes May 31st. (Note that we'll close registration as soon as 200 artists sign up, which may be before this deadline.)
