La Biennale internationale d’estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières

Deadline: October 1st

La Biennale internationale d’estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières is the only international printmaking competition exhibition to be held on a regular basis in Canada. Because of both this and the quality of its exhibits it has become a central platform for artists in this discipline. For them it is the most important event in Canada, or even in North America. Its mission is to promote and enhance the importance of contemporary printmaking, a particularly rich artistic practice, through the presenting of works of professional artists from all over the world. The event is held every two years and it proposes contemporary research and tendencies in printmaking, thus leading to the discovery of remarkable creations as well as nourishing the local artistic milieu and making a name for itself on the international stage.
