“Paths - Trayectos”

Print exchange and exhibition between artists of The Atlanta Printmakers Studio in Hapeville, GA and Pacarina Taller de Grabado in Quito, Ecuador

Entry Deadline April 12,, 2024

Atlanta Printmakers Studio is pleased to announce the 7th Print Portfolio Exchange “Paths - Trayectos” in collaboration with Pacarina Grabado in Quito, Ecuador. Pacarina Grabado is a printmaking workshop that provides a space to learn, practice, and exchange ideas of the art of printmaking. Its principal objective is to promote and disseminate graphic art. 

The exchange is the brainchild of Ecuadorian artist Sol Gómez.  Since her move to Atlanta and membership at APS she envisioned the possibility of linking the two nations in cultural projects.  

PORTFOLIO THEME 

Paths take us from where we are to somewhere new. The paths we take in life are varied, blazed by convenience, expectation, need, or desire. Some paths are well-planned, others spontaneous.  Each of our decisions takes us on a new journey, reshaping the future in subtle and dynamic ways.  

Artists from the Atlanta Printmakers Studio and Pacarina Grabado are invited to participate and collaborate in a portfolio and exhibition of prints on the theme of “Paths”. The two studios -- in Hapeville, Georgia and Quito, Ecuador -- serve a community of artists with open spaces and professional presses. Each has a wonderfully light and airy gallery space to host our show.  

We ask artists to reflect on the idea of “path” and its many interpretations: life paths, geographical paths, spiritual paths, migratory routes, and celestial trajectories.  How do you define the paths you have taken? Did you walk the straight and narrow? Go the long way around or discover the shortcut?  Is yours the road frequently traveled or the road less traveled?   Have you felt from here and there at the same time?

● Deadline for entry is April 12, 2024.

● June 20th: Deadline for the receipt of prints for collaboration (no extensions)
