Announcements & Events
Whiteaker Printmakers and Print Arts Northwest are delighted to announce the 9th Annual Emerald Print Exchange, deadline extended to June 20th, 2026!
We've extended the registration deadline because we still have 20 spots available. If you've been meaning to sign up, now is the time. (Registration might close before June 20th if all the spots fill.)
Each participating artist sends us an edition of twelve hand-pulled original prints. We send each artist ten randomly selected prints by other participants. We retain two prints from every edition we receive, to be exhibited and sold for PAN and WhitPrint fundraising. We use some of the images online to promote the Emerald Print Exchange.
The Emerald Print Exchange is open to all printmakers. It is limited to 200 participants, in order of registration.
Pearlyn Tan's exhibit "Becoming Feral" is at Multnomah Arts Center through June 27th, 2026.
Poppy Dully’s exhibition “Following the Seasons” is at Chapel Gallery, First Presbyterian Church, June 7th-July 26th, 2026. Gallery open Tues-Thurs 10-4 and Sun 11:30–1 pm.
David Kessler is showing 5 screenprints and 6 paintings at Robin Becic Gallery, 1307 SW 1st Ave, Portland, through the end of July 2026.
Mary Pacios is showing her large format linoleum block prints at Friendly House through June 26th, 2026.
PAN's second inclusion at Gathering of the Guilds in Portland was a great success on many fronts! We included over 300 pieces from 61 PAN members, and held 3 days of demonstrations showcasing a range of printmaking techniques. With over 13,000 attendees, this show gave PAN unusually strong exposure to the public and the broader arts and crafts communities. PAN friends from near and far reunited, shared stories, and educated visitors, with almost half of our current membership coming to the show. The show led to new member inquiries, workshop interest, newsletter subscribers, and interest in our exhibitions and member shows, helping us continue adding value to our organization over the months and years ahead.
We sold 50 pieces through combined sales by PAN artist members and Emerald Print Exchange sales, with additional funds raised through donations and demo donations. Total show receipts exceeded $9,500 by the show's end, with over $4,600 in commissions returned to artist members. Please let us know if you are able and willing to help next year! This was a BIG EVENT for a small organization like ours to pull off, and we'd love to have even more members involved next year.
