Edition Variables 2024: New Austin Printmakers

CALL FOR PRINTMAKERS

Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking's third iteration of our Edition Variables: New Austin Printmakers juried student exhibition. This exhibition was created in the hopes of building up Austin's (and the surrounding area) print community, especially for the young printmakers out there. This exhibition will showcase Austin's up and coming printers and allow them to show in a new environment, outside of school. We will host a gallery opening reception where awards will be given for "Best in Show" and "Honorable Mentions". Students have the chance to win a free printmaking class with Flatbed or a free month's membership to use the facilities post graduation.

ELIGIBILITY: This exhibition is open to all 2023-2025 BFA, BA, BS, or MFA graduates/candidates with a concentration or minor in printmaking from Austin area colleges or universities. If you graduated in the Fall of 2023 or are set to graduate in 2024 or 2025, you are eligible to apply for this year’s exhibition.
