Print Sponsorship Program

Current Deadline - January 4th, 2008

Printing Sponsorship Program
DEADLINE: January 4th, 2008

What is it?
The Photographic Center Northwest Printing Sponsorship program provides free printing in B&W, RA4 color, or digital format to selected artists to complete an already-conceptualized project or project-in-process. Every three months, a panel of artists will choose 2 artists to participate in the sponsorship. Artists in the program may print at PCNW without charge for 40 hours over a 3-month period. The artist must already know how to print in whichever lab he/she chooses to use, this sponsorship is for lab access not instruction. Not eligible: current PCNW students and commercial work. This program is in acknowledgment of the rich contribution working artists give to the northwest photographic community.

What needs to be submitted to apply?

  • An artist’s resume with name and contact information.
  • A description of a project that can be completed or significantly advanced in a three-month period through printing at PCNW, including the project’s genesis and focus, the artist’s goal in making the work, and what the artist intends to accomplish with the printing time.
  • An existing portfolio (any format) of 10-15 images, to be left at PCNW for a week for review.

Donate an image to PCNW Print Collection

Upon completion of the printing sponsorship the PCNW Gallery Director, Ann Pallesen, will meet with the artist to review their work. She will work with the artist in choosing an image from the portfolio to be included in the PCNW Print Collection. Images in the collection can be used for future exhibition possibilities or may be used in a PCNW auction fundraising event. Inclusion in the PCNW Print Collection is a great addition to any resume!

All Materials Must be Submitted by January 1st, 2008.

“Simon”
2006

For the past year, I have been asking young, queer and transgendered individuals from around the country to present themselves, as they want to be seen for a photograph. Paying attention to their carefully considered identities and surroundings, I am creating This Is All So Queer, as a personal archive and a journey, through a rapidly changing community and the lives of people who bravely offer new visions of what it means to be young and queer today.

In the 1990's, he had a fellowship which allowed him to explore a theme in Georgia O'Keefe's work and make very large photographs of small details of flowers in 1996 received a grant from The Arts Counsel of Great Britain to produce a body of work commemorating a town created for soldiers post WWII.
