Het draait om grafiek
[our motto is not easy to translate into English, so we don't translate it (yet)]
Grafein initiates, facilitates and participates in printmaking projects in and beyond The Netherlands. The foundation serves to promote this important contemporary art form, which has its own visual language and history, to professionals as well as the general public. This includes artists, institutions and print-art collectors. Its network of friends and advisors provides Grafein with unique expertise and contacts to advocate the printmaking arts.
Grafein is an independent cultural Public Benefit Organisation (PBO - in dutch: ANBI).

Friends
To pursue its goals Grafein needs more than project grants alone. In addition Grafein also needs friends who wish to support us financially and friends who support us practically, with all kinds of smaller or bigger tasks .
In return, we support these friends in their printmaking activities and ideas.
Grafein established four categories of Friends, collectively supporting printmaking in The Netherlands as well as beyond its borders.
