INTERNATIONAL PRINT BIENNALE 2014
We are pleased to announce the third International Print Biennale will take place from 27 June to 8 August 2014. The event celebrates the role of print in contemporary practice and is the only event of its kind in the UK.
In 2011, we welcomed an audience of over 153,000 from all over the world to print exhibitions and events across the region with 15,000 taking part in public events and learning activities.
Galleries, museums, libraries and artists across the North East will present exhibitions and events that celebrate historical and contemporary printmaking. In previous years venues as diverse as Baltic, Bowes Museum and Vane have taken part and presented exhibitions from across the globe including exhibitions from Ikon Gallery, Centre for Fine Print Research (UWE, Bristol) and Tamarind Institute, USA. We anticipate more than 15 venues taking part and look forward to announcing the full programme early in 2014.
