Purdue Galleries are once again hosting the biennial Sixty
Square Inches competitive biennial exhibition of
small-scale contemporary printmaking. This year's
exhibit will provide the 15 th review of North American
graphic artists working in an intimate format.
The Galleries are committed to the practice of acquiring
new works from each Sixty Square Inches exhibition
and building our collection of contemporary North American
printmaking while helping to support the community of modern
artists. Since 1978, we have acquired 154 artworks
from Sixty Square Inches exhibits for the collection.
These acquisitions fuel our ongoing educational outreach
programs.
“60 X 60” Traveling exhibition
With the assistance of a Challenge America: Reaching Every Community Invitational
Initiative grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Purdue Galleries
is organizing and promoting a traveling exhibition entitled “60 X 60,” consisting
of a selection of images acquired from previous Sixty Square Inches exhibits. Bookings
for the traveling schedule are now being accepted.
Rental fee: $1,500 per venue, to be applied to the cost of producing a full-color
printed catalogue of the exhibition. Each venue will receive 100 copies
of the catalogue; additional copies can be purchased with prior arrangements
at cost.
Shipping: Participating venues will be responsible for arranging shipment
and the costs associated with transporting the exhibition pieces to the next
venue (US only).
Space requirements: About 250 linear feet of exhibition space. Exhibitors
must provide adequate insurance during their shipping commitment and while the
artwork is in house. Exhibitors are also expected to provide experienced
art handlers for installation and a secure, limited-access gallery space.
