CALL FOR PROPOSALS, PRINTING:GREEN

Columbus State University is sponsoring a Print Dialogue Day that reflects an aspect of current thought, practice and research in “greening” our print studio and practices.  We are looking for artists and educators who can address some of the environmental issues we are facing today through either paper presentations and/or slide lectures.  How can small changes make an impact on our health and environment?  Many printmakers have inherited outdated studios and major renovations can be costly and time-consuming; what small steps are you making today?  Or does your artistic research reflect some of the impact of environmental change we have seen over the last decade?

DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 1, 2012

The Print Dialogue Day will also consist of a few printing demonstrations; proposals in the areas of intaglio, screen-printing, relief, lithography or mixed media are being accepted.  Successful proposals should not only be technically interesting but should also relate to PRINTING:GREEN.

Accepted presenters/artists will receive a $200 honorarium and will have one work included in The American Print Alliance Exhibit to take place March 25 – April 21, 2013 in the Illges Gallery at Columbus State University.  Artists will be responsible for shipping work to the gallery; gallery will pay for return shipping.  Presenters will also receive a free 2013 subscription to Contemporary Impressions.

Proposal Submission Guidelines:
Please electronically submit proposal (no more than 500 words) and a CV to Elizabeth Roberts McFalls at mcfalls_elizabeth@columbusstate.edu by the September 1st deadline.

Please note:  The 2012 Print Dialogue Days are November 16 & 17 at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, this call for proposals is for the next Print Dialogue Day on April 20, 2013.
