ShopColumbia Call for Work | A Print Show: Same but Different (2025)
Ends on
ShopColumbia announces a Call for Work for Columbia College Chicago current students, graduated alumni, faculty, and staff artists to contribute print work for our Spotlight Exhibition: A Print Show: Same but Different (July 15 – September 19, 2025).
A Print Show: Same but Different is a spotlight exhibition highlighting the idiosyncrasies within the printmaking media. Through artistic choices and experimentation with technique, inks, and paper as well as variances that can occur within the making process; slight differences within a series make each print unique.
Details:
- The primary media should be printmaking but additional materials can be used. Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography. Modern printmaking techniques, such as screenprinting, will also be accepted.
- Multiples and editioned works are encouraged.
- Having at least one piece framed for display is encouraged.
- All work must be available for purchase. Students earn 75% of every sale. Alumni, faculty, and staff earn 50%.
- Newer works (2024 or later) are preferred but not mandatory.
Tips and suggestions:
- ShopColumbia encourages artists to buy their frames early and not rely on local shopping options; online frames are often more economical.
- When pricing your work, make sure to include the cost of the frames.
- Framed pieces and unframed work should be priced differently.
