Contributing Your Print to
McClain's Catalog and Gallery

Please submit one print per person to be published in the hard copy catalog and shown in the online Gallery.

Because we specialize in relief printmaking supplies, we accept relief prints to show in the gallery. Relief prints include woodblock prints, Moku Hanga (Japanese style woodblock), linocuts, engravings and monotypes or monoprints. We do not accept screen prints, lithographs, etchings, mezzotints or prints using other intaglio processes.

Work is given recognition but there is no payment. The copyrights to all images belong to their respective artists. McClain's will not use the submitted art for any purpose other than display in our catalog or on our web site without the written permission from the artist and we will not release the material in whole or in part to any person or company.

McClain's reserves the right to decide which prints to accept for publication.

IMPORTANT: Please include the following information with your print:

  • Title
  • Size and Technique
  • Your Name
  • City, State or Province
  • Contact Information: web site, instagram or email address

To be considered for inclusion in the next year's catalog, please submit your work by the end of November.

Choose the format that is easiest for you:

Photo Taken with Your Phone or Camera

Please be sure the photo is equally spaced vertically, in other words, that it is the same width at the top as it is at the bottom. Shoot the print looking straight on at it, not when it is laying on a table. Prints that are behind glass when they are photographed usually do not turn out well.

Scanned Images

To reproduce well in the catalog, scanned images need to be at least 72dpi and 1MB or larger. Save the file name as your last name/first name/title.jpg.

If you do not have image editing software, a handy, free website to resize your images is resizeyourimage.com

Please do not send zip files.

Email to mail@imcclains.com or copy to a zip drive and send to McClain's, PO Box 230759, Tigard, OR 97281-0759 USA

Prints

If you would like us to scan or photograph the print for you, please send it to McClain's, PO Box 230759, Tigard, OR 97281-0759 USA. Include a stamped return label and we will return the print to you.

Thank you very much for sharing your work!
