Airport Printing and Installation Details

• APG along with Hartsfield Jackson Airport will handle the framing and installing of the artwork.
• Artists can have work printed through APG Airport Print Services. In this case, artists will supply high-resolution digital images to APG, and pay a nominal fee for APG to produce a high-quality archival pigment print. (see details for more information).
• Artists can also provide their own prints. However, the prints MUST MEET THE AIRPORT’S PRINT SPECIFICATIONS, or they will not be included in the show.

PLEASE NOTE – For this exhibition ALL PRINTS (or FINAL IMAGE FILES submitted for APG printing) MUST meet these specifications:

• 20”×26” paper size and aspect ratio (paper only). The Airport uses their own frames, so if the specifications аre not correct the prints will not fit and the work will not be installed. APG has no control over this issue.
• All images must be printed with a WHITE border all the way around the image.
• The border must be a minimum of 1″ at the narrowest point, but can vary in size between top/bottom and left/right margins in order to maintain the aspect ratio of the actual image.

Details for Print Through APG

Printing fees through the APG Airport Printing Service are $36.00 for each print. An APG Airport Print Services link will be sent to all artists chosen by our Juror, Lisa Volpe. Artists will also be able to access a button at the bottom of this page, or use “Printing Services” the APG Shop Artists once exhibition selections to request and pay for APG Airport Exhibition Printing Services. Once paid for, artists will then receive a link to upload images to be printed through APG. The work will be printed by the same printer who has done the last three APG>Airport Shows for APG.  After the exhibition the prints will be returned to the APG Gallery and you may pick them up. If they are left beyond 60-days they will become property of the gallery.
