Markets & Opportunities

Apply to join the SPA Fall Print Sale!

 
 

Seattle Print Arts is hosting a print sale at Pratt Fine Arts Center in the printmaking studio on Saturday, November 21, 2026. We are inviting SPA members to sell their prints. We are also accepting printed items such as t-shirts, towels, cards etc. No giclée, mass produced or AI based work will be accepted.

Artists will handle their own sales and collect and remit all applicable sales taxes. There is no commission or fee for table space. Space is limited and we will fill the spaces on a first come, first served basis. Notification of acceptance will be no later than November 10th.

Each person will be given a space that is approximately 3 feet by 3.5 feet. If we have fewer than the maximum number of participants signing up, there will be more space allotted. Once acceptance notifications have gone out, we will give you a final estimate of your space. Artists are responsible for bringing their own display materials. If your work is very large and hard to manage on a tabletop, we will have a few large community floor print racks available for your use. If this is your first time setting up at a market, we will also be providing you with a guide to collecting money, dealing with sales tax and displaying your work as part of our professional development program.

Set up begins at noon, the sale starts at 1PM and runs until 5PM , clean up by 6PM. We will have some light snacks and beverages available. Feel free to bring something to share!

NW PRINT JAM: Call for Teaching Artists

 
 

The Northwest Print Jam (NWPJ) is a three-day festival taking place September 18–20, 2026, along the Downtown Bremerton Boardwalk. Seattle Print Arts is excited to offer artists an opportunity to share printmaking with the public by hosting four artist-led demonstrations. Demos may share a printmaking technique or invite members of the public to participate and make a print themselves.

Each selected artist will lead a four-hour session in an outdoor booth. Artists will receive a $500 stipend per shift, inclusive of materials, transportation, and any other expenses associated with participating in the event.

SPA is currently accepting proposals from artists across Washington State. Proposals will be reviewed by a panel of three jurors, and selected artists will be notified by August 15.

Timeline

  • Aug 15 – applications due

  • Aug 22 – notifications sent

  • Sept 19 + Sept 20 – activations take place
