The Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s 13th Biennial Miniature Print International Exhibition opens on Sunday, June 6, 2021 with a socially distanced opening in the Grace Ross Shanley Gallery from 12:00 – 4:00 PM.
The exhibition runs through August 29, 2021. This juried exhibition, limited to works that are no more than four square inches (25.8 square cm), encourages artists to explore the miniature print format. Since its inception in 1997, the Miniature Print Exhibition has showcased the works of artists worldwide with renowned print curators and collectors serving as jurors. This year’s juror was Christina Weyl, an independent art historian. CCP received 568 prints from 227 artists with works arriving from 22 countries, including representation by artists in 27 states. Weyl selected 128 works by 122 artists representing 15 countries and 21 states.
The Miniature Print International Competition is held every other year, alternating with CCP’s other biennial, FOOTPRINT International (for prints measuring exactly 12 x 12 in. square).
