LAPS Artist Membership Application

Applicants should submit one of the following:

Portfolios: A portfolio of six prints made in the past two years, at least two of which must be in a traditional and editionable printmaking process, such as intaglio, woodcut, lithography, etc. Please indicate the process for each piece. Work need not be matted, but should be protected. LAPS will not accept framed work and will not be responsible for loss or damage of works from any cause. Artists, however, may wish to carry their
own insurance.
Slides: Slides of six prints made in the past two years, at least two of which must be in a traditional and editionable printmaking process, such as intaglio, woodcut, lithography, etc. Each slide should be carefully labeled with the artist’s name, title of the piece, media, year of creation, and dimensions. A self-addressed stamped envelope must be included if you wish to have your slides returned.
CD: Digital images of six prints made in the past two years, at least two of which must be in a traditional and editionable printmaking process, such as intaglio, woodcut, lithography, etc, may be submitted on one CD as jpegs. The digital images should adequately reflect the original print and give the reviewers a sense of how the print fits on the paper. The file names should include both the artist’s name and piece title, such as PicassoDanceoftheFauns.jpeg. Files should be 300 dpi with a maximum size of 7 inches in any direction. The disc must be labeled with the artist’s name. A hardcopy information sheet including the artist’s name as well as the title, media, year of creation, and dimensions of each piece should be included. A self-addressed stamped
envelope must be included if you wish to have your disc returned.
