“Growth”
Juried Exhibition at Spudnik Press Cooperative
Hosted by Spudnik Press Cooperative’s Exhibition Committee
Spudnik Press Cooperative is growing into an expanded print shop and facility, and is excited to host its first juried exhibition in its new annex space. This open call, “Growth,” will bring new and old audiences together to celebrate exceptional work in the field of printmedia.
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Growth is: changing in size, number, significance, maturing, a new stage of development, moving from something simpler to something more complex. “Growth” is a juried show exploring the idea of metamorphosis in all its forms as interpreted by print artists.
