Edition: A National Juried Exhibition of Photography and Printmaking

Edition was an exhibition of photography and printmaking from across the country! Both printmaking and photography were developed with the same desire in mind: the desire to replicate reality with a permanent product, fill mass production needs and produce perfect editions. Over the years, people began to use both printmaking and photography for art. Artists developed many techniques and processes to manipulate photography and printmaking for their work, and today, many use digital methods as well. This exhibition features all forms of photography and printmaking.

Enamelist and Metalsmith Harlan Butt from Denton, Texas will be featured in The Vault during the Edition exhibition!

Exhibition open 5/29/21 - 6/20/21

The open call for Edition received 295 submissions from 82 artists from 33 states. 47 pieces from 27 artists from 18 states (3 Virginian artists) were selected for this exhibition.

Juror Biography: John Miles Runner’s works make bold political statements. His interests lay in presenting the viewer with universal truths, in unexpected ways, prompting one to explore not only the works but the issues they present.

“John Miles Runner thinks deeply when it comes to his artwork. His large screen prints, wood cut prints, and video installations are mainly inspired by socio-political issues. The ideas for his works revolve around the role of government in society and the sustainability of our choices. For example, John was living in Japan with his wife and family during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The tsunami caused, primarily, meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The impact of what's been called the costliest natural disaster in world history, was the inspiration for many of John's artworks.”
