2.25 - My First Profesionally Curated Print Exchange

The 2.25 International Print Exchange

Bring the kids! Bring your parents! Most important, remember to bring yourself to see the latest print exchange to come to my art studio. Read more about how I organized the theme and created my own submission under my Creations tab. See the beautiful prints that were submitted for this exchange online at Candace Nicol's Blog!

2.25 is an international print exchange, artists pay a small fee to support the creating and distribution of their prints then send in an edition of images for display. In this exchange artists sent in 10 prints and will receive 10 prints in return from other printmakers who participated. This is a fantastic way to learn about other printmakers, see what techniques people are using, and have a project with a deadline (if you need that sort of thing) As an added bonus, your print will be displayed either in a gallery or studio space of another artist. Learn more about this exchange on the Happenings tab.

This will also be the first opportunity to see the inspiring U.S. History Portfolio in which Candace Nicol is taking part. The exhibits will be up through all of the Artown celebration this July.

A breathtaking collection of expertly printed works of art, the U.S. History Portfolio showcases some of the best current print artists in the United States. Techniques, colors and inspirations are diverse. Each print touches on important events, people and inventions during a certain year in American history.
