Call for entries: International: Husby Konsthall miniature print exhibition
Husby Art center in Husby Sweden is a multipurpose, non-profit, grant funded art center with an exhibition space, a teaching program for children and teens, and open access studio space for adults. Our mandate is to provide our community with the opportunity to view both national and international artists in our exhibition and teaching program. With this in mind, we would like to invite printmakers to participate in a mini print exhibition.
We are unable to administer sales, but artist information will be displayed, allowing buyers to contact artists. Due to prohibitive postage costs, we have a no return policy. Chosen prints, prints not sold, as well as non-accepted prints, will become a valuable contribution to our permanent collection at Husby gallery, used as an education tool for our printmaking students.
