The theme of this year’s exchange is “No Such Thing” Feel free to interpret this in any manner you can imagine. Requirements: Any EDITIONABLE art media may be used. (Just a few examples: woodcuts, litho, digital printmaking, etc.) Each of the prints should be the same. The post card must be no larger than 4”x 6”.

13 identical prints should be sent individually to the address posted below. Each card must be stamped and will bear the markings of travel and the postal service. Edition must be numbered 1/13, 2/13, 3/13… DO NOT send the cards together in one envelope.

Include the following information on the back of the card:
Name
Your Return address

MAIL BY JANUARY 1, 2010. ENTRIES DUE FRIDAY, JANUARY 8. Artwork received after January 8, 2010 will not be included in the exchange. Please postmark prints with sufficient time to arrive. After receiving everyone’s postcards the Graphic Arts Guild will randomly divide up the cards and you will be sent 12 new and different prints from other participants. The Graphic Arts Guild will keep one of the 13 for The JSU Art Department Works on Paper Collection. Postage and handling for returning the 12 new prints will be paid for by the Graphic Arts Guild.
