The Featured  Artist\u2019s work is also displayed in our website banner, and in a blog  article, where they have the opportunity to talk about their featured  artwork. We link to the artist\u2019s website to drive traffic  there, and award each Featured Artist a $100  credit in products and services (including printing services).<\/p>\n<p>In choosing each Featured Artist, we look for an artist whose images are strong enough to stand alone, while also working in sets, demonstrating their ability to focus on a theme that can then translate to a set of greeting cards. We review digital portfolios on an ongoing basis. There is no application to complete\u2014just put \u201cFeatured Artist\u201d in the subject line of an email, and let us know that you would like to be considered. Include all of your contact information, as well as your artist biography and any articles and images you&#8217;d like to see published in our catalog. If you have a website, we can review your work online, otherwise you can <a href=\"mailto:david@oakcreekprintworks.com\">send us jpegs or pdf files<\/a> to review. We do not return any material we receive by mail.<\/p>\n<p>If you are chosen, you will be asked to sign a digital release allowing us to reproduce your images and written statements in digital and print format. We will also ask you for your artist\u2019s statement, a biography, one or two photos of yourself, and at least 12 images of your work (ideally in 3 sets of 4). All images should be in jpeg format, 300 dpi (at least 10 megabytes each).<\/p>\n<p>Check out our previous featured artists:<\/p>\n<h5><a title=\"Ireland\u2019s Colors Drive Niamh Slack to Paint\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oakcreekprintworks.com\/blog\/creativity\/irelands-colors-drive-niamh-slack-to-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Niamh Slack<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elizabethvanduine.com\/\">Elizabeth Vanduine<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"..\/..\/blog\/featured-artist\/david-southern-featured-artist-summer-2010\/\">David Southern<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"..\/..\/blog\/photography\/featured-artist-spring-2010-klaus-lange\/\">Klaus Lange<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"..\/..\/blog\/creativity\/angela-m-sharkey-winter-20092010-featured-artist\/\">Angela Sharkey<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"..\/..\/blog\/greeting-card-note-cards-announcements-invitations\/georgia-lange-fall-2009-featured-artist\/\">Georgia Lange<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we are about to transition to our next Featured Artist, we want to let you know that&#8230;Oak Creek Printworks is always searching for future Featured Artists!
