NEW PRINTS PROGRAM

New Prints 2012/Winter

Call for Entries Deadline - November 25, 2011

In keeping with our mission to promote the greater appreciation and understanding of the fine art print, IPCNY presents a selection of new prints several times per year. New Prints 2012/Winter will be the 41st New Prints Exhibition and the 6th in IPCNY’s new Gallery at 508 West 26th St, Rm. 5A. The exhibition will run from January 26 - March 24, 2012. Submissions are open to all for this special exhibition!

Criteria for selection are:

Only original fine art (limited edition and unique) prints are eligible; reproductions of other artwork such as drawings or paintings are not acceptable.
Selections will represent a broad diversity of sources, geographical and otherwise.
Prints must have been completed within a year of the submission deadline.
THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE. Independent artists, workshops, publishers and dealers are all welcome to submit recently completed print projects. Please refer to the Submission Guidelines below. All artists whose work has been selected will be notified by phone or email. If you have not received word by December 16, 2012, check the “what’s new” section of IPCNY’s website for the list of artists included. PLEASE DO NOT CALL US.

The Selections Committee will be announced in the coming weeks. Artists and publishers whose work has been selected will be responsible for the framing and delivery of work to IPCNY by January 18, 2012. IPCNY will cover the return cost of delivery within reason. Due to the increased number of international submissions being selected, IPCNY can only contribute $50 dollars on return shipments overseas. Packaging must be provided by the lender for work being shipped outside of New York City.

With this 41st presentation of New Prints, IPCNY continues its role as an important venue for the rotating display of exciting contemporary fine art prints. We look forward to seeing your recent projects. Thank you.
