In keeping with our mission to promote the greater appreciation and understanding of the fine art print, IPCNY presents a selection of new prints several times per year.  New Prints 2012/Autumn will be the 43rd New Prints Exhibition.  It will tour to the Visual Arts Center of the University of Texas at Austin, February 1 - March 9, 2013, as part of the university's Printmaking Convergence program.  The Selections Committee will be announced in the coming weeks.

Criteria for selection:

• Only original fine art (limited edition and unique) prints are eligible; reproductions of other artwork such as drawings or paintings are not acceptable.
• Selections will represent a broad diversity of sources, geographical and otherwise.
• Prints must have been completed within a year of the submission deadline.

THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE. Independent artists, workshops, publishers and dealers are all welcome to submit recently completed print projects. Please refer to the Submission Guidelines below.  All artists whose work has been selected will be notified by phone or email. If you have not received word by August 17, 2012, check the "what's new" section of IPCNY's website for the list of artists included. PLEASE DO NOT CALL US. 

Artists and publishers whose work has been selected will be responsible for the framing and delivery of work to IPCNY by October 5, 2012.  IPCNY will cover the return cost of delivery within reason.  Due to the increased number of international submissions being selected, IPCNY can only contribute $50 dollars on return shipments overseas.  Packaging must be provided by the lender for work being shipped outside of New York City. 

*NOTE*: Please follow the guidelines when preparing your materials, or your submission may be disqualified.
