New Prints 2009/Spring: Selected by Polly Apfelbaum
CALL FOR ENTRIES DEADLINE - February 9, 2009
International Print Center New York is pleased to announce a call for submissions of newly created artists' prints to be considered for exhibition in the NEW PRINTS Spring exhibition opening in April 2009. In keeping with our mission to promote the greater appreciation and understanding of the fine art print, IPCNY presents a selection of new prints four times per year. Criteria for selection are:
- Only original fine art (limited edition and unique) prints are eligible; reproductions of other artwork such as drawings or paintings are not acceptable.
- Selections will represent a broad diversity of sources, geographical and otherwise.
- Prints must have been completed within a year of the submission deadline.
With the recent switch to digital submissions, our number of entries is rapidly expanding. The Selections Committee changes each time, therefore we strongly encourage all individuals who have submitted in the past to submit again.
THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE. Independent artists, workshops, publishers and dealers are all welcome to submit recently completed print projects. Please refer to the Submission Guidelines.
A new Selections Committee composed of a variety of prominent members of the art community is appointed with each exhibition. Selections will be made by mid-March. All artists whose work has been selected will be notified immediately by phone and/or email. A list of artists selected will be posted on IPCNY's website. If you have not heard from us by March 13th, please check the list of names on the website. At this point, we are unable to notify artists and publishers individually if their work is not accepted.
Artists and publishers whose work has been selected will be responsible for the framing and delivery of work to IPCNY by April 10th. IPCNY will cover the return cost of delivery of prints being shipped within the US. IPCNY will cover up to $50 dollars in return shipping on works being shipped internationally. Packaging must be provided by the lender for work being shipped outside of New York City.
With this 31st presentation, IPCNY continues its role as an ongoing venue for the rotating display of exciting new prints. We look forward to seeing your recent projects. Thank you.
