Short Description
The Mini Print Internacional Cantabria is an annual international printmaking competition and exhibition held in Santander, Spain. Established in 2018, it was initially conceived as a biennial event but transitioned to an annual format due to its immediate success and growing participation.
Our passion for graphics, and especially for the format, our desire to make contemporary artists from all over the world converge in an exhibition in our land and that our people have the possibility to enjoy it have made us develop it and work to incorporate Cantabria into the international Mini Print circuit.
