This summer sees the return of Print Festival Scotland for the third time in four years from 16th-26th June, coordinated by Dundee Contemporary Arts and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design. There will be once again exhibitions, events and projects in venues across Dundee and also other Scottish cities and locations as the print festival’s programme expands.
In 2013 the city of Dundee hosted the ‘Impact 8 – International Printmaking Conference’, bringing over four hundred and fifty delegates from over thirty one countries together to discuss, and celebrate their knowledge and practice in printmaking. Previous conferences have been hosted in cities such as Bristol, Helsinki, Johannesburg, Berlin and Melbourne and is considered to be the largest academic print conference in the world. Impact 8 provided the platform to launch Print Festival Scotland, which seeks to celebrate and showcase Scotland’s printmaking heritage.
The team behind the annual event are currently calling for submission for projects, events and exhibitions which showcase best the many and diverse aspects of printmaking as a form of creative expression.
If you or your organisation would like to get involved in this summers exciting programme, download our project submission pro-forma listed below and return by email to printfestivalscotland@gmail.com before May 16th.
