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 current international project is the International Print Mail Art Project 2023 with the theme ‘Imagine’.
