International Print Biennale

About

Showcasing the best in new British and international printmaking, the 2011 International Print Biennale is an extensive programme of exhibitions, events & activities taking place across Newcastle and the North East. It follows the success of the Northern Print Biennale in 2009 which was the first major project in the UK for 20 years concentrated on the diversity of contemporary printmaking.

With the Turner Prize opening at the Baltic in October, this is an exciting time for the North East. The 2011 International Print Biennale will include exhibitions which focus on both historical and contemporary printmaking, with workshops and events for adults and children. The Biennale centres around the 2011 Print Awards which features leading international artists working in the medium of print.
