From 10th November 1998 till 20th
December 1998 big World Print Festival
will take place in Slovenia in organization of AGART
Art Association. Slovenia is a small middle European
country having a great print tradition and as such is
very suitable for such a project. In seven art
centers , expositions of print artists from the whole
world will be opened at the same time. In each
gallery a separate print technique will be presented.
In such a way the artists will
compete for prizes in the same technique. Maybe this
manner of presentation and competition will be more
interesting and attractive as classical forms of
print bienales. The number of grand prix will be
equal to the number of presented techniques.
During the Festival a Congress of
print artists will be organized in a beautiful
touristic center Bled, that will try to give answers
on the problems of modern print creation.
The organizer expects that the
majority of artists will present classical
techniques, but newer print suggestions (maybe
electronic) as well as print inovations will be
welcome.
The Statute and Entry Form can be
