Island Farm Press is pleased to launch
PRINTS BY POST:
An art benefit
to support International Rescue Committee
Help raise funds for International Rescue Committee's urgent work during this global pandemic through collecting art!
Scroll down to find out more on how both artists and patrons can get involved!
1. SUBMIT ART
Call for artists! Download our PDF packet with guidelines for submission here. There is no cost to artists to participate.
Submit a 3.5 x 5.5" image in 1 or 2 colors at 300 dpi. Photo submissions will be converted to halftone and printed in the color of your choice.
If you are familiar with how to separate image layers for screenprinting, that's great!
If not, check out our For Artists page, or we're happy to prepare your file for you!
2. PRINT ART
We'll screenprint your artwork to create a limited edition of 4x6" postcards.
We're using the papers and inks we currently have on hand, so we'll do our best to match your colors but may need to take some artistic liberties :)
Prints will be made in hand- numbered editions of 150, with one Artist Proof (to be sent to the artist) and one Printer's Proof (to be kept by us).
Editions will be unsigned, but the artist signature will be printed at the bottom of each postcard.
3. PURCHASE ART
Keep an eye on Instagram @islandfarmpress to see what new artworks are available!
Prints are available by suggested, honor-system donation of $10 each to the International Rescue Committee but whatever you can afford is awesome.
First, purchase cards in the PBP Shop for $1.50 each (helps cover postage, materials, tax and $0.35 PayPal fee)
Then, visit the IRC website directly to make a donation in any amount you're able.
4. SEND ART
Once a week we'll drop the cards in the mail.
That's it!
We hope you'll consider using this time to grow or start your art collection while supporting those in critical need around the world.
Also, you will find a link to each artist's website in their bios - we encourage you to visit their sites and support their work directly!
If you would like to make a small donation to help support our studio, we'd be grateful. You can Venmo or PayPal us at islandfarmpress@gmail.com.
