New Membership Submission - Pittsburgh Print Group (Due Oct. 25)

New Membership Submission - Pittsburgh Print Group
Deadline: October 25th, 2024

Printmaking is a diverse art form. Although the Print Group remains open to present and future technology and its impact on printmaking techniques, for exhibition purposes, the Print Group asks that work include a printmaking process—relief, intaglio, silkscreen, lithography, monoprint, monotype, or letterpress - as central to its execution. Photographs and digital images may be used as part of a final image, but may not stand alone.
