13th Annual Member Print Exchange!

The Annual Member Print Exchange is an un-juried, open themed print exchange open to all current members of Second State Press. The print exchange celebrates thirteen years of printmaking at Second State Press and is an opportunity for our members to exercise the idea of exchange at the core of our mission.

Eligibility: Participation is open to all current members of Second State Press. If you are not a member or need to renew, you may register or renew online!

Edition Size: The size of the edition is 22 prints. The paper size must be 8×10 inches. Please remember to sign and number your prints in pencil.

Medium and Paper Size: Original work in any printed mediums (e.g. serigraphy, etching, lithography, intaglio, relief, etc.). Purely digital prints will not be accepted, but incorporating digital printing into your hand pulled prints are welcome. The paper size is 8×10 inches, prints may incorporate borders or be a bleed, but please only submit prints that fit the 8×10 inches requirement. Other sizes will not be eligible for the exchange. Please also include 22 sheets of glassine slightly smaller than 8×10 inches. Glassine is available for purchase through the studio.

Drop off Date: Prints must be received by Second State Press by Friday, December 1st at 8pm.

Exhibition: Each artist will receive a random selection of 20 prints made by other SSP members and ONE FREE TICKET to our Silent Auction and Fundraiser on December 9th. The first print from the edition will be auctioned off at the Clay Studio to support SSP and the second print will remain in our permanent collection. Please allow four to six weeks for your set of prints from the exchange. You will receive an email when they are ready to be picked up or mailed for a fee.

RSVP: To ensure that we have adequate exhibition space for all prints, artists interested in participating should fill out this RSVP form by November 12th.
