CALL FOR PRINTS
Dialogos E Interpretaciones was established in 2012 with the goal of creating greater artistic and cultural exchange between printmakers of the United States, Colombia, and Latin America.

Colombia is going through a historic moment, for more than 300 years the Colombian people have been led by right-wing political parties, which have increased the physical and spiritual poverty of Colombians. A historic moment because this year the "historical pact" political party was elected by popular vote, of which one of its slogans of its mottos is to govern to “vivir sabroso, vivir sin miedo” -- “To be cool, fearless.” It is clear, and it is stated in its government plan, that the party that won the presidential elections is not from the "left" as its detractors want to delegitimize it. It is a social democratic party, which will lead Colombia with the desire to close the inequality gap, where more than 21 million people live in misery, that is, they want us to live well, with joy, without fear.

New Voices is a pilot program providing approximately six to eight emerging artists with a focused group exhibition at Print Center New York’s new, ground-floor space at 535 West 24th Street in Chelsea in the summer of 2023. This exhibition will provide a compelling critical exploration of the artists’ work, and will be accompanied by a publication and artist-led public programming expanding on the season’s themes.

Artists will be brought to New York for a three-day convening that includes an opening reception and other in-person learning and networking opportunities. For six months following the exhibition’s opening, artists will meet virtually as a group and receive individualized resources for professional and artistic development. Artists will receive an honorarium of $2500 for their participation in the program and financial support for associated exhibition costs.

Artists may apply to the program through a free, online application, and will be chosen through a selection process led by invited curator Carmen Hermo, Associate Curator for the Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. The pilot year of New Voices will be framed by the guiding theme “On Transformation.”
