The American Print Alliance is a consortium of non-profit printmakers' councils in the United States and Canada. The Alliance sponsors national and international projects, like this website and travelling exhibitions. Alliance funding comes primarily from subscriptions to our journal, Contemporary Impressions. Read it to catch up on the critical issues surrounding contemporary print arts, take part in the dialogue and inspire your creativity. By supporting the Alliance with your subscription, you also get an advocacy organization, exhibitions, resource publications, and more. Make a commitment to help us bring the print arts to their fullest potential!

Our new traveling exhibition shows how prints express the rights and responsibilities of democracy and inspire people to defend freedoms, serve in elected office, vote, demonstrate and take part in political life. The exhibition itself demonstrates that prints can be an influential part of the democratic process. Opening during our 2008 Print Dialogue Days in Atlanta, the exhibit will then travel for two to three years. Please help us find additional venues, so we can demonstrate to the world how printmakers advocate for democracy.

You're invited! The American Print Alliance 2008 Print Dialogue Days will be September 25-27 at SCAD-Atlanta (Savannah College of Art & Design, Atlanta campus).

Our annual get-together, filled with conversation and demos, has been a regular event around the South since 1997. This year, there will be an open house at the Atlanta Printmakers Studio on Thursday. Friday includes behind-the-scenes at the High Museum's Print Room, participatory printmaking events and lots of gallery receptions. Then on Saturday we'll have our speakers, panel discussions, technical demonstrations and open portfolios (an opportunity to show your prints and see your colleagues' work).

Everyone is invited to help create a closer sense of community among the area's printmakers, including students in print and design arts, our future professional colleagues. Free and open to the public. We now have an interactive schedule with detailed information about the sessions, field trips, collaborative Relief Effort and Hotlanta exchange portfolio. Be sure to print out the pass so you can take the shuttle. (If you're coming from out of town, you can find lodging suggestions here.)
