Overview

The annual American Artwork presents a juried collection of contemporary media. Now in its 20th year, 2,000 copies will be printed in Hong Kong and mailed to design firms, art consultants and galleries. Trim size is 8.5"H x 6"W. Printed on 128# Japanese Gloss art stock, smythe sewn binding.

Juried by California College of the Arts Painting Professor Emeritus Howard Eige and former Oakland craft gallery owner Jan Christensen-Heller. Our publications were called "stunning" by the San Francisco Chronicle and "a work of art in themselves" by the Sacramento Bee. Working out of the Sawtooth Artist Complex since 2004, we've exhibited over 3,500 artists with great feedback.
