112th Annual Membership Exhibition
Image by Nora Akino
This year’s Annual Exhibition will be virtual, with the gallery viewable on the CSP website. 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. Due to the virtual format there are no restrictions on size, or shape. No need for a frame (in fact please photograph without a frame, or glass) and there is no need to mail your work to us.
As always, work must ultimately be a hand pulled print.
This is a great opportunity to send in your latest printmaking endeavor, be it; convention defying, traditional, or work that advances your personal process, and collection. If the expense and complication of mailing has kept you from sending artwork previously, this is the time to exhibit your print with the CSP community. All CSP member’s original and handmade printwork is acceptable to exhibit in this year’s Annual Exhibition. Additionally we will publish your statements and bios within the gallery. (please see form below)
Once the online gallery is open, we are planning a members panel discussion, viewable over Zoom, where participants can talk about the artwork, their personal techniques, and other interests. Please consider taking part in this event, and fill out the attached form below.
Thank you, CSP Exhibitions
