The Dayton Society of Artists (DSA) is pleased to present LITHO-LINO-MONO-MORE. All printmakers, 18 years or older, living, working, or attending school in the state of Ohio are eligible for entry. All art submitted must have printmaking incorporated in their production process: woodcut, etching, engraving, lithography, screen printing, etc. Photography, giclee prints, and digital work are not eligible unless they have additional printmaking elements. Traditional and non-traditional approaches are welcome. Nicholas Hill will be this year’s juror and $700 will be awarded in prizes.

Contingency Plan: The DSA is exceedingly hopeful that everything will be opened back up in late June/early July, but the worst-case scenario is that the exhibition will be hosted online as other shows have been this 2020 season. Sponsored in part by the Dayton Printmakers Cooperative.

ABOUT
The DSA is a non-profit member-based organization. It was founded in 1938 and acquired a Victorian house in the 1960s which was then converted into a gallery. The DSA’s mission is to “connect, support, and educate artists and the community.” The DSA hosts various workshops and events throughout the year to fulfill its mission as well as hosts a variety of exhibitions.
