Call for Entries: PUERTOGRÁFICO, SGC International Conference (San Juan, April 1–4, 2020)

San Juan, Puerto Rico
Abstracts due: 06/15/2019
Islands are vessels anchored at sea. Moored between the cultures of two continents, Borikén —the original name of Puerto Rico— has been a center of cultural exchange for centuries, with a rich and complex heritage. From the early engravings on stone, to the intense printmaking production of the 20th Century and the present, Puerto Rican graphic artists have sought cultural interaction with the world by sea and air. PUERTOGRÁFICO will showcase, through artistry, technique and dialogue, one of the strongest callings for our work: the tracing of History. Welcome aboard.

Las islas son embarcaciones ancladas al mar. Firme entre las culturas de dos continentes, Borikén —nombre original de Puerto Rico—ha sido centro de intercambio cultural durante siglos, sobre una herencia rica y compleja. De los primeros grabados en piedra, a la intensa producción de carteles del Siglo 20 al presente, los artistas gráficos puertorriqueños han procurado la interacción cultural con el mundo por cielo y por mar. En PUERTOGRÁFICO, entre la técnica, la destreza y el diálogo, compartiremos uno de los llamados principales para nuestra obra: el registro histórico. Bienvenidos a bordo.

Printmaking methods include various forms of intaglio, aquatint, monoprint, lithography, silkscreen, stencils, photography, book arts, pen and ink, sculptural and experimental processes.

Each issue of Art in Print features a full-page reproduction and brief essay about the work of one artist, chosen by an outside juror.

One submission is permitted per membership per issue. With regard to institutional memberships (e.g. schools/universities, libraries) for any given competition, we will accept the first entry submitted under that membership.

Do I have to be a subscriber to submit?
Yes; Art in Print is a not-for-profit organization that depend on member support for all its programs. Subscriptions start at $38. Art in Print keeps the digital membership at just $38 specifically to accommodate students. A year’s membership enables entry to six competitions—just $6.33 per entry, plus access to all Art in Print content, including the biweekly newsletter announcing other competitions.

About Art in Print
Founded in 2011 to address the persistent invisibility of printed art in the general art press, Art in Print is a bimonthly journal and website dedicated to the art that most people are most likely to meet in person—the print. The publication provides important contemporary criticism, fundamental historical research and timely information about current events, while championing thoughtful looking, clear prose, and lucid design. Art in Print also commissions artists’ projects that take advantage of the social distribution of the periodical, and runs a bimonthly print competition that allows artists—with and without gallery affiliation—to reach an international audience. The only publication of its kind, Art in Print has emerged as a critical resource for artists, curators, scholars, collectors and viewers around the world.

2019 Awagami International Miniature Print Exhibition (AIMPE)

Awagami's “The Hall of Awa Japanese Handmade Paper” Museum
Yoshinogawa City, Japan
10/05/2019 to 11/10/2019
Submissions due: 07/31/2019
The Awagami International Miniature Print Exhibition (AIMPE) 2013 was held to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Awagami’s Hall of Awa Japanese Handmade Paper. This year, we mark the 30th anniversary of Awagami's 'Hall of Awa Japanese Paper Museum' by hosting AIMPE 2019.

The purpose of this exhibition is to introduce ‘washi’; Japan's traditional handmade paper (and cultural treasure) to international printmakers. In so doing, we are pleased to provide an opportunity for artists to exhibit their prints and to promote expressionistic fine art printmaking. Both Japanese and International artists are all invited to submit their miniprints created on Japanese washi paper --- washi has recently been designated as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage craft. Digital (Inkjet/Giclee) prints on washi will also be accepted.

Award-winning works will be displayed within Awagami’s Hall of Awa Japanese Handmade Paper Museum. All other prints will be displayed in Awagami’s spacious post-industrial gallery “Inbe Art Space”. Prizewinners from prior years will be displayed at satellite venues in Japan. Concurrently, an exhibition of commissioned works by printmakers hailing from both Japan and the US entitled “Awagami and Print Expression” will be held at Inbe Art Space. During the AIMPE exhibition, printmaking specialists and selected artists will conduct workshops and print-related symposiums at the exhibition sites.

Entries will be accepted from May 1 to July 31, 2019.
The first 500 artists registered by May 31 will receive a free sample pack of Awagami washi papers suitable for printmaking
