      A CALL FOR ENTRY
      Wheat Farm Press Print Exchange 1:1

      For our first project, Wheat Farm Press is establishing a quarterly print exchange, and juried publication of prints. The goal of this exchange is to promote the development of the finest artistic ideas and talents in contemporary printmaking. We want to further cement a strong printmaking community that continually challenges each other to reach new artistic heights. By participating in the Wheat Farm Press Print Exchange 1:1, you have the opportunity to present your fellow printmakers with your best possible artistic efforts, and in return receive ten prints that are indicative of a fellow printmaker’s dedication, care, thought process, and skill. We are looking for artists at any stage in their artistic lives to dedicate time to the development of an edition of eleven prints. We are looking for people who are passionately dedicated to printmaking, who don’t have access to a press, who have regular access, who print by hand, those who collage, make precise editions, make variable editions, those who can afford the time to work on prints every day, and those who sneak in time whenever possible to develop imagery. In short, we are looking for dedication to an edition, and not a quick or sloppy image. When you challenge yourself with this edition, you show your great respect for your peers within the print community, and give yourself the opportunity to compete for publication in the juried catalog. Please visit http://www.wheatfarmpress.com for more information on how to participate.

      Apprenticeships: Landfall Institute of Graphic Arts

      The Kansas City Art Institute and Landfall Press, based in Santa Fe, N.M., have announced the establishment of the Landfall Institute of Graphic Arts, which will offer six-month apprenticeships in Santa Fe.

      The Landfall Institute of Graphic Arts will provide hands-on training for printers and other print-based artists in graphic processes such as lithography, etching, woodcut and digital printing.

      It will prepare participants for professional application of the skills they acquire during their apprenticeship. A maximum of four apprentices will be accepted for participation at any one time.

      Apprentices will work directly with Master Printer Jack Lemon as well as with Senior Printer Steven Campbell, director of Landfall Press, and a variety of invited artists.

      To be eligible for admission to the Landfall Institute of Graphic Arts, candidates must have a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent.

      Graduates of the Kansas City Art Institute are eligible to apply, as are printers or print-based artists from throughout the United States and around the world who meet the eligibility requirement of a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent.

      Acceptance into the program is at the sole discretion of Landfall Press.

      To apply for an apprenticeship, candidates must provide the Landfall Institute with:
      • A completed application form, providing contact information
      • Proof of a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent
      • Three written recommendations from practicing artists within the field
      • A digital portfolio of current work
      • A statement of accomplishments and interest in the program
      • A resume or curriculum vitae

      A personal interview with Landfall staff is also required, accompanied by a selection of original works. Skype interviews may be accepted, but telephone or written applications, by themselves, will not be sufficient for acceptance to an apprenticeship.

      The cost for a six-month apprenticeship is $9,600, payable to the Kansas City Art Institute. Estimated costs for room and board are $1,500 per month, and participants are expected to provide for their own accommodations as well as travel to and from Santa Fe.

      If a participant is called to active military duty during an apprenticeship or required to withdraw for health reasons, the participant may request a refund in writing to Landfall Press with appropriate documentation. If approved, the refund will be made on a pro-rata basis.

      Candidates will pay the cost for the six-month apprenticeship in two installments: One half is due at the beginning of the first three-month period, and, if a candidate does not continue for the second three-month period, no additional payment will be made. At the end of the first three months of an apprenticeship, Landfall staff will conduct a review to determine the viability of the apprentice’s continuation in the program.

      To request a brochure about the program, which includes an application form, send an e-mail to info@landfallpress.com.

      Make art & eat great food in a remarkably beautiful place.

      Castello di Galeazza, Pepoli, Emilia-Romagna, Italy / http://www.galeazza.com/galeazzaonline/index.html

      Tuition: $350

      Materials fee: $95

      Castle Accommodations: 50 EU ($70 US) includes all meals.

      Contact / dnpetrillo@gwi.net / 207-568-3224 / 735-8237

      We will be creating monotypes inspired by our direct experience of botanicals and landscape just as plein air painters do. We will be exploring a number of techniques for making painterly one-of-a-kind monotypes using additive light field, subtractive dark field, trace drawing, stencil and stamp methods. We will be combining foam plate reduction relief printing, photo transfer, rubbing (found texture frottage) and chine colle with our painterly techniques for making a dynamic series of archival monoprints and monotypes on a variety of papers including kozo and cotton in color, black and white. 6 hours per day will be spent printing with instruction, and a 24-hour studio space within the castle’s horse stables adjacent to the gardens will be open for printing. I and my studio assistant will be available as a resource throughout.

      Dina is a sculptor and printmaker, and began teaching with UMaine’s Hutchinson Center in 2004. She runs the Post Office Studio Workshop in Belfast, Maine and holds a BA in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic, an MA in Arts and Art Education from Columbia University and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College.
