Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your questions will be posted here...
Where do you find artists for your exchanges?
We know a lot of Artists and we have met many more since we started doing these
exchanges. We post on the Baren Forum and a few other printmaking websites including
our Google group. We are always looking for more places to find and meet new Artists.
We sent out a big international mailing at the end of 2007. We are actively recruiting
Printmakers from around the world. Our Call for Entries can be printed out and posted at
your local art store or college. Feel free to share this website and information about our
exchanges with others.
I can't do the exchange this time because of my schedule, can I sign up for the next
exchange now?
If you can't participate this time, you can send an e-mail [kathe@fouroceanspress.com] to
let us know in which exchange you would like to participate. We will sign you up, add you
to the appropriate archive and expect your prints by the due date.
If you need a lot of time to get your prints completed and would like to sign up for a future
exchange you may also do that by sending us an e-mail telling us which exchange you
would like to be part of and keeping in contact with us so that we know you are still in the
project and making progress on your prints. If you sign up for a future exchange you can
send your prints in as soon as they are finished and we will hold them until the appropriate
time.
What types of the exchanges going on?
We have two series of hand-pulled print exchanges currently underway - The Alphabet
Exchanges and Classical Elements Exchanges. Sign-ups are ongoing until the artist lists are
full. We also have a Fine Arts Photography Exchange.
Can I suggest a subject for a future exchange?
Yes! Send us an E-mail and tell us your ideas. We have several Exchanges coming up, but
if you would like to help add to our list, let us know.
Is the schedule for the next few exchanges set?
Yes! Here is our schedule for the Hand Pulled Print exchanges! Click here to read about the
Fine Arts Photography Exchanges!
What if something happens and I have to drop out?
We strongly prefer that you do not drop out. Things happen in life that we are not always
prepared to deal with and sometimes we are forced to put our lives on hold. That does not
mean you have to drop out of life completely.
If you need a few more days or a week to get your print in please let us know.
Communication is the most important thing we have. Let us know what is going on! Most
issues can be solved.
If you think you will need more time than what is alloted for a given exchange, consider
signing up for a later exchange. All artists are putting a lot of work into their prints and we
want to give the best back to them and you.
What is the archive and how does it work?
An archive is a complete record which is stored for permanent or long-term preservation.
Our archive will showcase the images from each exchange and provide a link directly to
each artists' website. See our Archive page.
How do I become a featured Artist?
Your work is awesome and we want to help you show it off, but you have to do something
for us - join one of our exchanges! We pull our featured artist from the list of people we
work with - if you do an exchange you can get on that list.
Our featured Artist are shown monthly on our Archive page.
Where do you get the art you sell on your website? Will you sell my artwork for me?
We sell art made by several of our artists currently seen on our gallery page, most of whom
are in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. The work for sell can be seen in our Store
and purchased directly from our site. We also sell our Artist work on E-bay.
We do not sell the prints from our exchange archives. However, you may contact the
artists directly though the links on our archive page. If they do not have a website and you
would like to know more about them, you may e-mail us and we will forward your
questions to them directly.
We will consider selling the work of individual artists. You can contact us through e-mail
[sales@fouroceanspress.com] to discuss and make arrangements. We will expect to have
all artwork we sell in our possession and we will only take a 35% commission.
