Final Portfolio Print Exchange

The Print Portfolio exchange is a limited edition of prints. The number of participants will predetermines the particular number in the edition and the edition is done specifically for the exchange between the participating artists. The edition number for this exchange is determined by the number of students in the class plus two. The plus two include the instructor and one extra for the archives.

The way the prints will be handed out will go according to alphabetic order of the last name of each participant with the last number in the edition going to the archives. When the exchange is made a “Colophon” Page is printed along with the exchange and the information and names of each participant are included in this page. The list of participants follows the actually exchange number. That is to say that the first name in the list receives all of the #1 prints in the exchange and the next person all of the #2 ‘s and so on so forth till all prints are handed out to all the participating members
