### General Information

East End Arts Council invites printmakers from across the United States to submit work for **The Print Continuum**, a national juried exhibition celebrating the intersection of printmaking's historical traditions and its expanding contemporary practices. We welcome work spanning traditional and conceptual printmaking, including experimental processes and interdisciplinary practices. Selected works will be featured in a two-month exhibition at East End Arts Council's 11 West Gallery in Riverhead, New York. Cash awards include: **$1,000** for First Prize, **$500** for Second  Prize, and **$250** for Third Prize.

A *continuum* is a spectrum, where distinct points are linked by gradual change rather than clear divisions. In printmaking, this concept reflects a medium that is not divided between “old” and “new,” but one in which history, innovation, and experimentation thrive in an ongoing dialogue. Today, artists continue to expand the possibilities of the medium through new technologies, collaborative approaches, and inventive processes while remaining rooted in its deep traditions. These innovations broaden the language of printmaking and contribute to its ongoing evolution.

**The Print Continuum** celebrates artists who thoughtfully engage with the printmaking medium by honoring its rich history and craft, embracing experimentation and innovation, or expanding the expressive potential of printmaking.

Selections will be made by artists Ellen Wiener and Bill Albertini. The exhibition will be curated by Mich Miller, Head of Printmaking at East End Arts Council.
