> In April 2005, Seattle Print Arts will hold a juried exhibit of
> socially engaged printmaking at Seattle's Phinney Neighborhood
> Community Center. The exhibit will showcase print art which uses themes
> of social justice and global equity to engage community members in
> political conversation. Because of its accessibility and
> reproducibility, print art has long been used by activists as a
> communication tool in struggles for freedom and social equality. The
> bold graphic qualities made possible by printmaking techniques are used
> to communicate with and educate broad audiences all over the world.
>
> Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are encouraged to
> submit work. We hope to showcase work by over one hundred artists,
> and
> we look forward to your participation.
>
> JUROR: The exhibit will be juried by Josh MacPhee, an artist and
> activist based in Chicago. MacPhee recently curated "Paper Politics,"
> an extremely successful political printmaking show in Chicago which
> showcased over 250 prints from over 60 artists. He is the author of
> the
> recently published "Stencil Pirates: A Global Study of the Street
> Stencil," on Soft Skull Press.
>
> MEDIA INCLUDED: "Print art" featured in this exhibit can include
> monotypes, silkscreen, letterpress, stenciling, etching, block prints,
> hand-processed photo prints, or any kind of printing on paper that
> retains some evidence of the human hand. Digital prints will be
> accepted if the medium is used in combination with a traditional
> technique.
