In the spirit of keeping our sponsorship circuit active for the rest of the year, we are pleased to announce our winter open call.
Our Winter sponsorship is geared towards proposals for exhibitions, portfolios, and other printed collections seeking to represent a body or suite of work. The collection of work can come from a single artist or collective group of artists, and is open to U.S.-based individuals coming from all practices, industries, and backgrounds.
Sponsorship Coverage
- Full material costs for the edition, including papers[1] and printing supplies
- Full print service(s) costs for the edition, including standard Photoshop/digital editing work[2], print proofing, printing, cutting, handling, and packing.
Final Deliverables
This sponsorship is not an open call to exhibit, it is for the print production of a body work to go onto exhibition, portfolio review, or collection, organized at behest of the artist.
- One series of 20 digital archival pigment prints, up to size 20” x 30”.
- Outside of the series of 20 prints: A total of 1 BAT and 3-5 Printer’s Proofs, that will be kept by Brooklyn Editions studio, with the potential to be sold through the studio’s official channels based on agreed terms with the Artist[3]

[1] Choice and availability of paper can be determined by the final print dimensions of the edition.
[2] Artists are responsible for providing quality digital files of their work to our studio. If physical artwork needs to be digitized, we can provide referrals, or potentially scan artwork at the Artist’s cost.
Our Photoshop/digital editing services cover basic adjustments to optimize files best for print, and the determination of our ‘standard’ digital editing services is at our discretion. If we foresee work that starts to become extensive, we will always let the Artist know beforehand, to allow for them to plan their next steps or adjustments.
[3] Our Terms of Sale are open to further discussion with the Artist, but our standard terms are as follows:
- For the first year starting from the edition’s official release, or until the edition held by the Artist sells out, Brooklyn Editions will not sell a print from this edition that values more than the Artist’s sale price.
- If the Artist would like to utilize Brooklyn Editions’ official sales channel and platform to promote and sell prints from the edition held by them, Brooklyn Editions will take a 20% commission price per sale. All fulfillment services (such as packing and drop shipping) that are required to be performed by Brooklyn Editions will come at a cost to the Artist.
