In addition to this blog, there are various ways to interact with Barenforum.org members and our many many friends!




Exchange #71

This exchange will be closing shortly and is fully loaded with eager printmakers willing to share prints. The theme is open and that always makes an interesting collection showcasing a variety of styles and subjects.

As of this day, 63,900 prints have flown all over the world in the name of sharing woodblock art since Barenforum's founding. That's 30 participants, 30 prints each, 70 exchanges if anyone wants to check my math. Each of the long-time participants owns an astounding collection of nearly 2100 prints from all over the world.

Baren Exchange #68

Exchange #71 Open for Business

Seventy-one! The resiliency of the Barenforum.org exchange program is amazing. Some members might remember the first few print exchanges, some continue to collect amazing prints from all over the world.
When we celebrated Exchange #50 we already thought that was an astounding achievement and now we are 20 past that and looking forward to #100? Well, one at a time.
For now Exchange #71 is filling quickly.

Exchange Basics

For those who don't know, printmakers traditionally exchange prints on a regular basis and organized print exchanges are very much part of any self-respecting printmaker's life.
