Permanent Ephemera!
Permanent Ephemera! is a collection of Broadsides meant to be saved and cherished. The focus of this show is on story telling, beyond that the subject matter is open. Send us your artwork!
This show is open to all artists working in any printmaking media. Check out the details of this exhibition below and send us your work.
This is a combination art show and exchange. Please see details carefully since this show is a bit different than our previous exchanges.
How it Works!
Permanent Ephemera! is an art show and exchange. Each artist will send three prints.
1st print is for the archive - We keep one and store it for posterity.
2nd print is for sale in the show - We try to sell it and give you your share.
3rd print is for the exchange - We trade one of your prints with a print by another artist and send it back to you.
At the end of the show, you will get back your print or a check and a print by another artist. Those are the basics. Sign up and send us your Broadsides.
