Authentic Marks 3rd International Printmaking Exhibition

All practicing printmakers worldwide are invited to participate in Authentic Marks, an international open call for miniature prints. By participating in this printmaking exhibition, you are given the opportunity to show your work during Dubai Art Week, an annual event that brings art professionals together from around the world. Last year's exhibition featured original printmaking works from 32 countries, live printing demonstrations, and a VIP opening reception. This year will include awards of excellence for selected works.

Both professional and early career artists are encouraged to submit original, hand-pulled artworks. All printmaking techniques are accepted. Each artist can submit a maximum of 2 prints with the $35 entry fee. Works should measure 11 x 11 inches in paper size. Entries must be completed in the past 5 years and can be in any printmaking medium or combination of media. All works will be exhibited and included in the exhibition catalog, which will be sent electronically to every participating artist. Printed catalogs are available for the cost of shipping.

Submissions must be received by February 15, 2020. Works are required to be delivered unframed by February 22, 2020 with a label fixed to the reverse side. All submitted works will join the Shaghaf Permanent Collection at the close of exhibition, unless the artist includes the cost of return shipping. Mail work to: Printmaking Department, c/o Zayed University, PO Box 19282, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Contact: [email protected] or (+971) 056-8933300.
