2025 Print Trade

D E T A I L S
Work is to be printed on cotton handkerchiefs we’ll be mailing to you. Dimensions of handkerchief: 15 x 15″, white cotton. We’ll be sending these to you! We just ordered them, so they will be going out next week.

Theme: With so much happening in the world right now, we want to create a space for optimism and inspiration. We’re seeking work that reflects hope—something you’re looking forward to, a goal, an achievement, or a bright spot on the horizon. Let’s keep the energy uplifting! While we’re not here to censor, please keep in mind that our exhibitions will be in family-friendly spaces, and we reserve the right to curate selections based on the venue.

Numbering prints: Your edition should consist of fifteen impressions numbered 1/15 to 15/15. Ten prints in your edition will be distributed to other trade participants in a random selection process. In turn, we will mail you ten prints following this same process. The five remaining prints from each edition will be retained, hung and exhibited, and/or sold as a fundraiser for PrintAustin.

Eligibility: Open to anyone

Technique: Although fabric most lends itself to relief and screenprint, we welcome all editionable forms of printmaking. Cyanotype is acceptable. The image can bleed off the paper or have a border–it’s up to you! Yes, you are welcome to dye the fabric.

Fee: $35 per person, $25 per person if in a group of 5 or more (must use the same mailing address when applying. Use this coupon: groupprice)
