PRINTMAKERS DESERVE
TO EAT CHEESE!
We always want what we can’t have. I want to live on blue cheese, but my family has explain that it isn’t really an option. Printmakers want shows to enter…and it really should be an option.
As I have mentioned before, artists looking for printmakers’ call for entry make up a significant part of the readership of ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. They ARE hard to find–so when I run across any opportunity for printmakers, I like to pass it along. This is a great opportunity for Gallery Representation for a printmaker…and you don’t have to be local.
Washington Printmakers Gallery is a cooperative of active artists that allows printmakers to have gallery representation with the personal freedom to set your own prices and select the work you display. WPG is also an opportunity to learn from your peers and be a part of distinguished printmaking community.
