 By Kevin Keane, IAPHC CEO The International Gallery of Superb Printing remains the best opportunity to heighten the awareness and prestige of the IAPHC in the greater graphic arts community. From time to time in these e-pages, we'd like to show how this program can become and indeed should become the avenue all Craftsmen members traverse to build your Association. We applaud Kevin Meckley of the York Club for the wonderful marketing flyer he developed for his Club regarding the importance of supporting the International Gallery. So too our compliments to Joyce L'Hereaux of the Santa Clarita Valley Club and Glenn Woolley of the Hamilton Club and Dan Marantz of the North Jersey Club and Kathy Schoenick of the Madison Area Club for their localized Gallery marketing efforts. We received 18 entries from the Central Minnesota Club which doubles their count from 1997. Calgary's 95 entries mentioned in last week's TMN was a substantial increase over last year. In the Pacific Printing and Imaging Association's newsletter Good Impressions, Seattle Club member Ann Sloan noted that an entry into the 1998 Gallery of Superb Printing sponsored by the Seattle and Spokane (Inland Empire) Clubs includes an automatic entry in the International Gallery. At last report, nearly 100 entries from the great Northwest will be making their way to the International competition which will double the Seattle/Spokane 1997 entry count also! But fundamentally, the International Gallery grows one entry at a time. Howard Feinman of the North Jersey Club works for Applied Printing Technologies in Moonachie, New Jersey. So far, his company has submitted three separate shipments of entries -- this for a first time entrant! John Berthelsen of Suttle Press in Madison, Wisconsin has kindly agreed to solicit on our behalf printing firm owners whose acquaintance he has made through his Board involvement with the NAPL. Randy Fulbright of American Wholesale Thermographers (AWT) and the Tulsa Club sent a beautiful thermography entry today. Tom Reed of the Des Moines Club sent five pieces produced at his firm Blue Cross Blue Shield. And it's always fun to receive a non-member entry like the one from Donald Hiller of ProLam along with his check for $65 for an unmounted, non-member entry. As a member, you will pay only $35 for a mounted entry or $40 for an unmounted one. Compare that to the $75 initial entry fee charged by the PIA Premier Print Awards or the Gold Ink Awards. The International Gallery is not only growing, it remains the most economical event to enter and support. The time to enter is right now! The 1998 International Gallery is open for business.
