Short Description

The Engraving and Printed Image Prize has been organized since 1989 thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation – Visual Arts Department. Its aim is to encourage the practice of printmaking and printed art in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and to provide genuine visibility to artists practicing this discipline. All traditional printing techniques, as well as those using new technologies, are accepted. Each year, a pre-jury selects the works presented in the exhibition.
