Print Sponsorship ProgramCurrent Deadline - May 5th, 2010 What is it? The Photo Center NW is committed to providing a home and resources for photographers. The Printing Sponsorship program provides free hourly printing in B&W, RA4 color, or digital to selected artists to complete an already conceptualized project or project-in-process. Each year, Photo Center NW's Gallery Advisory Committee will choose 2 artists to participate in the sponsorship. Artists in the program may print at the Photo Center from June to August for 100 hours, without the hourly charge. The artist must already know how to print in whichever lab he/she is using. If the artist chooses the digital lab for their project, the printing hours will be free, however, ink fees still apply at 4 cents per square inch. Artists must supply their own paper in all labs. Program Benefits: Upon completion of the printing sponsorship each artist will have a closing review with the Gallery Director, Ann Pallesen, to talk about an exhibition of the work the following year at Photo Center NW . The artists will be contracted to talk about their work as visiting artists in Photo Center classes. The Gallery Director will also work with the artist in choosing an image from the exhibition to include in the Photo Center NW Print Collection. Images in the collection can be used for future exhibition possibilities or may be used in a Photo Center auction fundraising event. What needs to be submitted to apply?

Working project title: Coming of Age in Siberia: Photos from the 1990's Project description: I have been taking photos since age 7, when I got my first Zenit, a Russian-made film camera, as a present from my parents. In the 1990's, as a teenager/young adult, I took hundreds of pictures of my friends, family, co-workers, and other people in my life. I developed and printed the majority of these photos at home (with the exception of some color prints) and brought the negatives with me with I moved to the United States in 2001. Some time ago, I realized that, taken as a whole, these seemingly very personal pictures can serve as an interesting historical document, providing a glimpse into an era and a way of life that, although recent, is now gone. Andrew Hida
The Slow Healing multimedia documentary traces the return of traumatically brain-injured (TBI) soldiers returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through these quiet stories of survival, the project explores the process of healing and life under the constraints of TBI. Log on for more information: www.slowhealing.org Spring 2007 Judy Allen
Judy Allen is a photographic and mixed-media artist. She is an Associate Professor of Art at Cornish College of the Arts where she has been teaching photography for the past 15 years. At PCNW, Judy is continuing her work on 2 projects: "sanctuary" and "cosmos". She is utilizing the PCNW digital facilities to make large-scale prints from her black and white film negatives. The "sanctuary" series is a photographic exploration of sculptural spaces and surfaces that she constructs in her studio. The images investigate the various meanings of refuge or sanctuary. She is interested in creating works that elicit a somatic response, and function as metaphors for various kinds of sensory, physical, or felt experiences. Airyka Rockefeller
Project Description: My continued interest in storytelling from within particular places rather than directly about them unfurls not through observing what is most prominent in places, but by way of hearsay, warning and whisper as I move within them. My artistic material derives from my belief that what is to be found, between the infamous and the forgotten, between intention and chance, is more mysterious, more significant, than any gesture I could propose, any individual I could imagine, or any place I could premeditate. www.airykarockefeller.moonfruit.com Winter 2007 Carey Denniston
Born in Portland, Oregon, Carey Denniston grew up in a relatively small city, but one that sparked an interest in photography, literature, and rainy weather. At 18, Carey moved north to study at the University of Washington in Seattle. Upon graduating with her BA in English, she traveled throughout Eastern Europe, which fueled a curiosity to see more land, meet more people, and photograph it all. Soon thereafter, she uprooted to New York to study at the International Center of Photography, and to work as a conceptually-based photographer. During her studies, she gained an artist residency at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie, where she photographed a project, "I tried, but the devils found me there" - images of domestic moments in which hope and despair are seemingly inseparable. Currently back in Seattle, she is working on projects that range from portraits of her own colorful family, to portraits of the suburban landscape and what that means for those beyond the fence. Paul Rucker
Paul Rucker is an interdisciplinary artist (cellist-bassist-composer-visual artist-creator of interactive sound/video installations). Rucker has released two critically acclaimed CDs of his compositions, and he composes new music presented in a way that allows the viewer-listener the opportunity to interact with the work (participants can trigger sounds with the wave of a hand, touch of a finger, or press of a button). His pieces have been on display at Consolidated Works, Motel Motel Motel, Jack Straw New Media Gallery, the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, and On the Boards. "Wall of Pieces" was featured in the regional publication, Visual Codec, in 2007.
