Seattle Print Arts 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. Our mission is to foster intellectual and artistic dialogue, serve as a resource for news in the field of printmaking, forge links between artists, and serve as a base for a variety of activities that focus on the print arts.
Since its formation in January 2000, Seattle Print Arts has organized symposia, lectures, print exchanges, demonstrations, and several print exhibits, including two international exchange exhibitions. Seattle Print Arts also sponsors a printmaking scholarship at Seattle's Pratt Fine Arts Center.
We hope you can join us!
Seattle Print Arts is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
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.

The Larry Sommers Art Fellowship
The Larry Sommers Art Fellowship was established in memory of our friend and collegue Larry Sommers. To date we have raised $8,500, thank you to all!
The purpose of this fellowship is to support artistic excellence in the areas of print arts, book arts and works on or of paper. The award will provide a stipend of $2,000 to produce new work or to support a project in progress. The selected artist will be determined by the artistic excellence of the work presented in the application by a panel of arts professionals connected with the fellowship committee of Seattle Print Arts. In addition to the monetary award, the chosen artist will receive a one-year Seattle Print Arts membership.
The deadline for entries has passed.
