01/04/2014CALL FOR ARTISTS: COMPACT PRINT 2014

Registrations Open Now! Our most famed, biennial exhibition: Compact Prints, is now in motion for 2014. Compact Prints is an international print exchange and exhibition of 12x12cm prints, designed to fit inside a regular CD case. You’ll send three prints from the same edition, and in return, you’ll receive a print from another entrant, who could be from anywhere in the world! One print will be exchanged with a participating artist and a second will be displayed in a CD jewel case as a part of the exhibition. The third print will be auctioned at a Fundraiser to assist with the event and the development and on-going maintenance of the newly launched Compact Prints website. The new website dedicated to Compact Prints is designed to showcase the history of the exhibition, where each exhibition has toured and provide a platform for artists to be more connected with each other.
