OPEN CALL: Women Who Print

Fall 2026

Mari Art Collective invites women artists worldwide to submit to our upcoming online exhibition, Women Who Print – Fall 2026.

This exhibition celebrates the breadth of contemporary printmaking practices and the women artists who continue to expand and redefine the medium.

Exhibition Theme

We welcome all forms of printmaking, including but not limited to relief, intaglio, lithography, screenprinting, monotype, risograph, cyanotype, collagraph, photopolymer, and experimental or mixed-media printmaking practices.

This exhibition aims to showcase the diversity of approaches shaping printmaking today.

Curatorial Statement

Printmaking sits in a unique space between process and repetition, and graphic arts, design, craft, and fine art. It is a multifaceted medium rooted in experimentation and community. It can be sculptural. It can be painterly. Printmaking is always evolving. The process and the community are as important as the works that are created by printmaking artists.

Women Who Print highlights the many ways women artists engage with printmaking today. Together, these works will create a collective portrait of contemporary printmaking through the perspectives of women artists around the world.
