2010 marks the tenth anniversary of Seattle Print Arts!
A series of special events have been planned for Seattle Print Arts members to celebrate and strengthen our ongoing commitment to Seattle area artists and art enthusiasts. Seattle Print Arts strives to affirm the importance of prints in our community by offering rich opportunities for inspiration and creative exchange.
Seattle Print Arts programming serves as a resource for area artists and all those who support the art of printmaking. Seattle Print Arts Board of Directors hopes you will participate in these events to help us celebrate the tenth anniversary of our vibrant organization.
OUTSIDE ART: Seattle Print Arts 2010 Celebration
As part of our special 10th anniversary program, Seattle Print Arts is announcing a new initiative, “Outside Art.” These grants will provide support to a small number of artists or artist teams to create temporary works of large scale in a public space.
VOLUNTEERS WANTED: Outside Art Precious Water Project
Ellen Sollod and Carolyn Law are seeking volunteers to help with Precious Water, a temporary installation on Pier 62/63 that will draw attention to our relationship to Puget Sound.
We need help painting, installing and deinstalling. The painting is on cardboard and requires no skills!

Installation is scheduled for Sunday, September 12 and deinstallation on Monday, September 20. Volunteer for a few hours or the project's duration.

Patricia Cameron Gallery and Seattle Print Arts are pleased to present the Seattle Print Arts Salon Invitational Exhibition, one of many special events celebrating the tenth anniversary of Seattle Print Arts.
Seattle Print Arts, formed in January 2000, is an association of artists, arts professionals and collectors who have an avid interest in the expanding field of print arts and an appreciation of the print media. The organization also supports five art salons, created and developed by artist and Seattle Print Arts Board member Kathryn Trigg, which operate independently and continue to evolve to address the needs of their members. Salon artists meet for feedback and support, to share struggles and successes, and to discuss ideas and techniques.
This exhibition of work by Seattle Print Arts salon members represents a wide range of ideas and techniques informed by printmaking practices and drawing. It speaks to the artists’ commitment to create their work, nurture relationships with each other, and share their art with the community.
