Membership Opportunities
MakeReady
MakeReady is SGCI’s social platform and member file repository. MakeReady allows our members to share resources, ideas, projects, observations, and inquiries to broaden our discourse. Like a makeready process of preparing a work for printing, this community space provides the opportunity to observe potentials, expand understandings, define contexts, and explore the resonance of printmaking history, theory, and practice.

Members Traveling Exhibition
This biennial exhibit is juried from submissions by active members of the organization. Generally, the exhibit features 50+ works from North American and international artists. It celebrates the diversity and vibrancy of printmaking, while engaging a broad range of contemporary themes and processes.
Student Fellowships Awards
Each year, SGC International awards two student fellowships; one undergraduate ($500) and one graduate ($1000). Students may self-nominate, but must have a faculty sponsor who will submit a letter of support (nomination), and must be enrolled at the time of application. Applicants and the faculty sponsor must be SGCI members in good standing.
