Grafein

Het draait om grafiek.

Projects

Grafein organizes small and large projects in the field of printmaking. Some of these projects are centered on pure printmaking, whereas in others, printmaking plays a leading role. Various projects such as exhibitions, master classes, symposia, lectures, open calls, and exchange projects, are organized both within The Netherlands and internationally. In 2022, Grafein Foundation has organized the graphic art triennial Grafiek2022 - a manifestation in which more than 100 locations in The Netherlands participated.

On this page we will only show international projects. Most projects can be seen on the Dutch project page.

The last international project is the International Print Mail Art Project 2024 with the theme The Future of Our Planet.

Open Call: International Print Mail Art Project 2025 (IPMAP 2025) – Connect

For the fifth edition of the International Print Mail Art Project, the Grafein Foundation invites artists worldwide to create a print inspired by the theme Connect. IPMAP 2025 is a Grafein initiative open to artists working with printmaking techniques.
This project promotes  printmaking in its broadest sense and offers a platform for printmakers both in the Netherlands and internationally.

  • The artworks should be created using a printmaking technique. The paper size is 10 x 15 cm (portrait or landscape).
  • Prints following the guidelines will be exhibited in one or more exhibitions organized by the Grafein Foundation.
  • A catalog will be published, which will also serve as a guide for the exhibition.
