Print Information & Submission Guidelines

PRINT INFORMATION

Each artist creates a limited edition print using a traditional print technique such as etching, wood block, linoblock, embossing, lithographs, relief, silkscreen or mixed print media inspired in some way by The Year of the Rabbit.

As always, the Year of the Rabbit is both an exchange and a series of exhibitions. The first print is kept and used for the exhibition. The other prints are offered for sale or used for the exchange. For the exchange, you receive back other artists' work and other artists get your prints.

For the exhibitions, the Year of the Rabbit prints travel to several locations for display: PROOF Studio Gallery, OCADU (Ontario College of Art & Design University), Ottawa School of Art, and Muskoka Art Place Gallery. The show travels from February to the end of April. After the show comes home to PROOF your prints are exchanged and mailed out. You will receive an e-mail when your prints are mailed out.
