National Small Works Exhibition
National Small Works 2010 Winners Announced
About NSW-The National Small Works is annual juried exhbition that has been hosted by Washington Printmakers Gallery every August since 1997. Featuring contemporary artist-pulled prints, NSW exhibits an impressive array of technique as well as subject matter by limiting the size of print entries (maximum size of 170 square inches). Each year a curator from an area institution acts as juror. Past jurors have included Eric Denker (Senior Lecturer National Gallery of Art); Linda C. Simmons (Curator Emeritus, The Corcoran Gallery of Art); Katherine L. Blood (Curator of Fine Prints, Library of Congress); and Helen Frederick (Founder and longtime director of Pyramic Atlantic); to name a few. This year's juror, Christopher With, recently retired from the National Gallery of Art, where he worked for over thirty years, most recently as Coordinator of the Art Information Volunteer Program. Holding a PhD from UCLA, With has written and lectured widely; his article on German artist Max Liebermann in American collections will be published this year.
