Emerald Print Exchange 2022
Call to Artists
Whiteaker Printmakers and Print Arts Northwest are delighted to announce the fifth 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.
Registration opens January 15!
Each participating artist sends us an edition of twelve hand-pulled original prints. We send each artist ten original prints by other artists, randomly selected by us. 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.
All forms of editionable, hand-pulled prints are acceptable, including etching/aquatint, lithography, woodcut, linocut, mezzotint, and screenprint. All prints of the edition should be consistent, using the same paper and inks throughout.
No monotypes. No giclées, reproductions, or photographs. To prevent damage to other entries, no glitter, attached objects, or 3-D, please.
Paper size MUST be 5”x7” (127 mm x 178 mm). Over- or under-sized submissions will be disqualified and returned. Image does not need to fill the paper.
The complete edition must be twelve prints, each one signed and numbered (1/12 - 12/12). There should be only slight, if any, differences in your edition, so those who receive your prints will all receive consistent pieces. In keeping with standard print editioning custom, you may retain no more than 2 artist proofs (marked A/P). Titles are optional. Because of size restrictions, you may sign and number your prints on the back instead of the front. Please also print your name clearly on the back of each print.
The non-refundable entry fee is $35 for US participants and $48 for international participants. ($10 off for PAN and WhitPrint members.)
You must register and pay online before shipping your prints to us. Once you register, we'll email you reminders about how and when to submit your edition.
Our online catalog and auction pages display submitted works in registration order. The sooner you register, the nearer your work will be to the top of the page.
Your submitted edition must be packaged in a single shipment. Slip-sheet between each print with interleaving, glassine, or newsprint.
Please allow ample time for shipment. Late shipments will be accepted or returned at our discretion. Send your shipment to:
