14th Graphic Arts Biennale: IMPORT/EXPORT

14th Graphic Arts Biennale: IMPORT/EXPORT The first international edition Application deadline: 10 February 2025 The Graphic Arts Biennale, established in 1999, is a cyclical review/competition presenting the works of young-generation artists working in the area of graphic arts.

IMPORT/EXPORT is the theme of the 14th Graphic Arts Biennale, which will take place in Poznan in the spring of 2025. It refers to the hierarchy of dependencies between coreMore
