Peabody Essex Museum

Over the last twenty years, the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) has distinguished itself as one of the fastest growing art museums in North America. Founded in 1799, PEM is also the country’s oldest continuously operating museum. The museum’s mission is to enrich and transform people’s lives by broadening their perspectives, attitudes, and knowledge of themselves and the wider world. The museum’s collection is among the finest of its kind, boasting superlative works from around the globe and across time, including contemporary and historic American, Asian, Maritime, Oceanic, Native American, and African art and culture. Twenty-four noted historic structures grace PEM’s campus, including Yin Yu Tang, a two-hundred-year-old house that is the only such example of Chinese domestic architecture on display in the United States, and the Phillips Library, which holds one of the nation’s most important museum-based collections of rare books and manuscripts.

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:

• All selected work will be printed on 20”×26” paper size. The Airport uses their own frames, which are 20″ x 26″. Your work will be centered on the paper, either landscape or portrait, whichever makes sense for your image and white space around your image will be determined by the aspect ratio of your image.
• 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.
