Oct 10, 1998 *NEW* CALL FOR ARTISTS: WORLD PRINT FESTIVALFrom 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. Contact:
