Call For Entries - Center for Contemporary Printmaking
27.02.2020
The Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s 7th Biennial Footprint International Competition, is an opportunity for the presentation of current trends and innovations in contemporary printmaking within the bounds of the one square foot (12” x 12”) configuration. The square format was uncommon in art until the advent of abstraction and presents distinct challenges of composition and expression. Within these precise limits, artists must confront a space and create visual order and formal structure.
