The exhibition is intended to showcase the work of BARN members. There is no limit to the number or size of your submission(s).

This spring’s exhibition in The Commons will showcase work from our Print & Book Arts and Writers’ studios in a collaborative exhibit exploring the theme of “Words” (mid-April through mid-July).

As part of the exhibit, we’re launching an exciting cross-studio project:

Writers: Submit a line you love from your own work to writers.lead@bainbridgebarn.org by Friday, March 6.

Print & Book Artists: Create a print, letterpress work, or book arts piece that incorporates or responds to one of the lines submitted through the Writer’s Studio. All collaborative works must be delivered to the exhibit by Monday, April 20. Interested? Contact print.lead@bainbridgebarn.org to participate or learn more. Please also fill out the application form below so we know you plan to participate.

You’re also welcome to submit individual works of printmaking, letterpress, or book arts that fit the “Words” theme.
