Print Artist Program
Chapin Ratte
Sierra Print Artist is a computer program from Sierra Home (part of Sierra Entertainment, which is owned by Vivendi SA). The software allows the user to make cards, calendars, stationery and other assorted crafts and then print them with their printer. The current version is 25.[1]
The program was originally developed by Pixellite Group in the early 90s. The DOS version was written by Christopher Schardt. The original Windows version was written by Mr. Schardt, and Ferdinand G. Rios and Tracy Elmore of SAPIEN Technologies, Inc. Vince Mills handled later versions.
The program was first published in 1992 under the name Instant Artist by Autodesk. After half a year or so, Autodesk decided to abolish its consumer products division. Maxis then published the program under the name Print Artist. In 1995, Sierra On-Line purchased Pixellite Group and the rights to the software and it became known as Sierra Print Artist. It was published under Sierra's "Sierra Home" label and continues to be today despite several purchases and mergers of Sierra On-Line beginning in 1996.
The underlying vector-graphics/font-effects technology was developed by Dane Bigham and Christopher Schardt. It was first used in Banner Mania, published by Brderbund, also written by Christopher Schardt. Steve Hales wrote the Macintosh version of BannerMania. Marty Kahn (the author of the original Print Shop) wrote the Apple II version. The technology also found its way into what would eventually become the WordArt add-in for Microsoft Word.
A popular feature of the program was the Graphics Grabber, developed by Vince Mills, which enabled the program to handle a catalog of thousands of vector and bitmap graphics, organized by keywords. Sierra Home also publishes Hallmark Cards-licensed versions of the program as Hallmark Scrapbook Studio Deluxe and Hallmark Holiday Card Studio.
I make colourful map art and make a living by selling wall art prints. I used to use ESRI products, but not any more. I've seen that ESRI has a program where NGOs can use their software for a very reasonable price, and it got me thinking. At the moment I make my maps with QGIS, but I'm pulling all my hair out when any semi-complicated data editing is involved. I'm not allowed to use a personal license for ArcGIS Pro as I sell my maps as wall art (commercial use), and as an independent artist I'm not even close to being able to afford a professional subscription. I would like to suggest a program similar to the Esri Nonprofit Program, where artists who make maps can get an ArcGIS Pro license for a reasonable price. I have a few thousand visitors per month to my website and I'd be happy to put a badge on my website footer saying something like "supported by ESRI", "GIS work done with ARCGIS Pro" or similar.
There will be a change to the ArcGIS Online User Types within the next weeks.
The Creator User Type will soon include ArcGIS Pro Basic. This Version probably includes the functionality you need. 2023 and 2024 ArcGIS User Type Comparison Matrix (esri.com)
Thanks for letting me know. Based on my memories of using ArcGIS 10.x, and the type of work I need to do on the data to create my maps, I'd need a full version ArcGIS Pro, and also quite a few extensions (3D Analyst, Network Analyst, Geostatistical Analyst etc).
Esri is being ridiculous with this; not announcing changes and prices at the same time, especially around Creator which impacts the cost of setting up an AGOL org where in some cases Pro is not needed, is absurd.
Client: How much will it be to set up a field survey project in October for 2 people?
Me: NFI. It could be X or it could be much more.
Client: How must we budget?
Me: Worst case it could be ___
Client: That's a lot more than Product B. Don't worry - we'll call you when we need you........
@RTPL_AU Sorry, I can not provide more details, as it really depends on your region. Creator UT probably will stay similar to the current pricing. With Professional and Professional Plus, prices will probably not increase. With Professional Plus, additional Extensions will be included. The price for some UT may even be reduced in some cases.
Highpoint Center for Printmaking is dedicated to advancing the art of printmaking. Its goals are to provide educational programs, community access, and collaborative publishing opportunities to engage the public and increase the appreciation and understanding of the printmaking arts.
The Studio Art program is committed to the development of contemporary artists who are not only proficient makers, but also curious and inquisitive observers, critical thinkers, and resourceful self-initiators. Students in the Studio Art program benefit from small class sizes and well-equipped facilities, the numerous offerings of a tier one research university, and active relationships with the larger arts communities in Austin and beyond.
Viewpoint is a long-running annual series that invites leading curators, critics, and scholars of the contemporary art world for a sequence of concentrated visits each spring that include public lectures and seminars, as well as private studio visits with current graduate students.
The Guest Artist in Print Program (GAPP) invites contemporary artists working in print media for a one week residency in the department's print shops to develop a new project with the assistance of print faculty and students.
I've been a longtime owner of Broderbund's PrintShop but I
haven't been a happy owner for years. It is slow, buggy,
and getting printer support is problematic. If you have
a B&W postscript printer you will be okay probably. BUT
get a StyleWriter or HP deskjet or Epson and don't pass
Go and Don't collect $200.I wrote them off and told the company why in a long reasonable
letter. I got a reply from some customer support drone and
the answer was basically pick up your marbles and find
another game.I haveSince then I've played with several other different programs
of the same type. PrintShop Gold is a straight Wintel port
and not all that great, but not too bad. Card Shop is worth
every penny if you don't spend more than $15 for it. Pretty
chintzy program but it is stable. Corel's PrintHouse could
be a real PrintShop killer if it weren't so dang unstable.david--

Richard, I bought Print Shop, but have been having all sorts of problems
with it - I haven't tried giving it more memory, but I'll do that.
Another problem I have is that it doesn't center on the paper correctly
with my HP660C. What printer are you using and did you have any problems
with that?Thanks,Don Word

The Art in Public Places (APP) Program acquires completed, portable works of art, and commissions artists to create works of art for specific locations. Works of art are displayed in over 640 sites statewide including schools, libraries, hospitals, airports, state office buildings, the State Capitol and at Capitol Modern (the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum). The APP Program also supports excellent arts education programming in schools during the school day, out-of-school arts education for pre-K students and lifelong learning for adults.
Artworks for the Art in Public Places Collection are selected via an Art Acquisition Selection Committee (AASC) from juried or curated exhibits statewide. An AASC visit must be requested by the exhibition organizers.

Beginning in fall 2018, the Department of Art introduced a redesigned B.F.A. curriculum for students who see themselves as both artists and scholars. This curriculum will combine the intensive studio culture of the art department with enhanced access to electives in all areas of the university. By focusing on interdisciplinary relationships, the department aims to produce a community of artists who will participate in the world as artistic and intellectual leaders.
The two academic components of B.F.A. program consist of the art-specific component taught within the department (64 credits) and the elective component drawn from the university at large (56 credits). The art component consists of seminars and core studio courses in:
The elective component comprises art history requirements and First-Year Writing Seminars plus a full range of elective classes selected by the student with an advisor's input. This latter component offers students a truly unique degree of freedom in integrating ideas, interests, and skills into an artistic practice that is critically, intellectually, and materially advanced.
