Great Arrow Art Submissions

"Thank you for your interest in designing for Great Arrow."

Art Theme(s):
What sets Great Arrow cards apart from others is our signature silkscreen process. It is important for the designer to have a basic understanding of silkscreen technique and to work within its strengths and limitations. All artwork must separate to spot color (not 4 color process) and should make good use of our rich flat pigment and true metallics. Tiny detail, fine lines and small typefaces will not print well and should be avoided. Designs must be accomplished using no more than 5 spot colors. Tints and halftones are considered as additional colors.

Pay Rate(s):
Artwork selected for publication is licensed from the artist, generally for a term of five years, with compensation paid in the form of royalties based on sales. The complete terms of the license are contained in our Artists Agreement.

Submission Start/End Date(s):
Deadlines vary. Check their website for details.

About the Publisher:
In 1984 we published our first line of six greeting cards in what was once the Pierce-Arrow automobile factory. We moved down the street and around a few corners to the other side of Delaware Park in 1995. We ended up in yet another refurbished auto plant – this one the former home to the Ford Model T and after that, Trico wiper blades. We rolled up our sleeves in the Tri-Main Center and started working on cards instead of cars. As our card line grew so did our need for more space. We expanded four times before settling into the 15,000 square foot studio that houses the whole shebang – design, printing, production, fulfillment, and sales. Our hand silkscreening process is even older than the turn of the century brick and mortar that surrounds us – now that you know where we are, why not check out how we make our cards.
