Print Club
By CODAME.ORG
The Zeitgeist of Collectibles In an era of doom scrolling and algorithmic feeds, there's a growing hunger for tangible connection. We remember when social feeds felt like a gift: stumbling across an artist you’d never heard of, that spark of discovery you couldn’t manufacture. CODAME Print Club recreates that feeling in real space, with something you can hold, trade, and hang on your wall. Art swap meetups are how we do it: crate digging through collections, trading pieces, meeting artists and collectors in person. It's record store browsing for the contemporary art era. Each 12"×12" print fits perfectly in vinyl frames and sleeves, sits well anywhere, and starts conversations. The format is designed for discovery: compact enough to collect dozens, meaningful enough that each one matters. How It Works for Collectors Monthly subscribers receive curated 12”×12” prints from featured artists, printed on archival cardstock and delivered worldwide. The package includes an artist placard — a small card with the artist’s story and context for the work — so collectors can display their gallery at home or at work and spark inspiring conversations around the pieces. All subscribers get monthly voting rights to help shape upcoming editions — a preview of curated candidates before the window closes. Free tier votes count, but the deeper your commitment, the more your voice shapes the culture. Digital subscribers carry more weight, physical subscribers the most. How It Works for Collectors Selected artists receive a direct profit split from their featured edition. Your work reaches a global community of collectors who value art as physical objects worth trading and displaying. 🌍 Global Reach - Physical and digital distribution to collectors worldwide 💰 Profit Split - A direct cut of every edition you're featured in 🤝 Community Connection - Art swap meetups & direct engagement with collectors Technical Specifications We’re looking for digital-native work, generative art, and tech-themed pieces that translate beautifully to print. Use our Affinity template (uses Jetbrains Mono) or adhere to the following specifications: Canvas Size 7350 × 7350 pixels (12.25” × 12.25” at 600 DPI) File Format TIFF or PNG (lossless) Color Space Adobe RGB (1998) Bleed 0.125” (3mm) on all sides — included in canvas size Trim Size 12” × 12” (final print size after trimming) Safety Zone Center 11.5” × 11.5” (for essential design elements) Design Tip: Your artwork should fill the entire 7350×7350px canvas. The print will be trimmed to exactly 12”×12”, so extend backgrounds and patterns to the canvas edges. Keep essential design elements (text, logos, focal points) within the center 11.5”×11.5” safety zone to ensure they aren’t obscured when mounted in frames.
