Seattle Print Arts is an association of artists, arts professionals and collectors who have an avid interest in the expanding field of print arts and an appreciation of the print media. Our mission is to foster intellectual and artistic dialogue, serve as a resource for news in the field of printmaking, forge links between artists, and serve as a base for a variety of activities that focus on the print arts.
Since its formation in January 2000, Seattle Print Arts has organized symposia, lectures, print exchanges, demonstrations, and several print exhibits, including two international exchange exhibitions.
Seattle Print Arts also sponsors a printmaking scholarship at Seattle's Pratt Fine Arts Center, the Larry Sommers Art Fellowship, and the Mini Money Grants(pdf).

Announcing the Larry Sommers Art Fellowship 2012 Call for Submissions.
Deadline: June 1st
Seattle Print Arts is pleased to announce the third annual fellowship in memory of our friend and colleague, Larry Sommers.
The purpose of the Larry Sommers Art Fellowship is to support artistic excellence in the areas of print arts, book arts and works on or of paper. The award will provide a stipend of $2,000 to be used by the chosen artist to produce new work or to support a project in progress. The selection of the artist will be based on the artistic merit of the work, determined by a panel of arts professionals working with the Seattle Print Arts Fellowship Committee.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this very special fund and made this award possible.
