Emerald Print Exchange 2026
Whiteaker Printmakers and Print Arts Northwest are delighted to announce the 9th Annual Emerald Print Exchange, deadline extended to June 20th, 2026!
We've extended the registration deadline because we still have 20 spots available. If you've been meaning to sign up, now is the time. (Registration might close before June 20th if all the spots fill.)
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
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.

Time To Renew Your Membership
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.
Mokuhanga Demo
Art Demonstration: Japanese Woodblock Printing
Witness the magic of mokuhanga, Japanese woodblock printing, up close through this special demonstration of the process by Oregon-based artist Barbara Mason, assisted by Alex Prentiss. There will be a Q&A following the demonstration, as well as a display of the tools, woodblocks, and paper used in the art of mokuhanga, and a selection of finished prints to enjoy up close. This demonstration is a collaboration with Print Arts Northwest.
Wednesday, April 29th, 2026 1:15PM-2:30PM
An active PAN member, Barbara Mason is an artist and printmaker based in Hillsboro, Oregon. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally for the last 40 years. Mason practices different styles of printmaking including monotype, solar plate intaglio and mokuhanga. She is an advocate committed to art education: Mason founded the non-profit Golden Road Arts with the mission to provide free art programming to students and teachers. Alex Prentiss has been teaching mokuhanga workshops in Portland and around Oregon for over 20 years. In 2001, Prentiss purchased McClain’s Printmaking Supplies, the foremost relief printmaking supplier in the U.S., from her former mokuhanga teacher, Elaine Chandler.

PAN Printmaking Library Opens
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.
Office hours are Wednesdays, 10 am to 12:30 pm. Appointments can also be made for donations. Thanks and happy reading!
