VAE is looking for artists to submit works of art that have been created through any and all of the printmaking processes that utilize pressure. Pressing ink into paper has served as a catalyst for reproducing ideas in both text and image. The processes, media, and techniques have evolved creating cheaper and improved ways for artists to voice opinion and create. VAE is looking for artists that share in the process of ink, run, repeat.
