110th Annual Membership Exhibition Call For Entry
The CSP Annual Exhibition allows all qualifying members to exhibit one print. Work is not juried for this Call, and it is free of charge to submit your piece. This year we will be showing at the Santa Rosa Jr. College, in Santa Rosa, CA.
All entries must be under 36″ in any dimension, (including frame) this restriction will insure all work can fit in this large and modern gallery. All work must have a hanging wire affixed across the back, and be set up to display professionally; framed or mounted on a panel. Please, no unframed work, sawtooth hooks, magnets or clips. Pedestals for display of 3D work are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
We are producing this exhibition, with the support and help of student printmakers of SRJC. Students will hang the CSP work as part of their Museum Studies curriculum. Two opening receptions have been scheduled; the first during weekday, class hours, the second reception is on the weekend, and will include an artist demo in the printmaking facilities, adjacent to the gallery. CSP Members and students are invited to attend both openings.
The gallery is open for viewing at its regular weekday schedule (listed below), but Saturday viewing sessions will be added with CSP volunteer support.
Please consider signing up to help staff the gallery sitting, receptions, or pick-up. We will need your help to make the exhibition a success!
Thank you, CSP Exhibitions
