Arts & Culture | IC opens call for submissions to Macau Printmaking Triennial

The 2nd Macau Printmaking Triennial is now open for submissions, the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) stated in a press release. The event, which is organized by IC in cooperation with the Printmaking Research Center of Macau, will be held in November.
The gold prize has been increased to MOP250,000, while the silver and bronze awards are set at MOP80,000 and MOP50,000, respectively. This edition will again be coordinated by printmaker James Wong, and aims to encourage the submission of “outstanding works from all over the world.”
The IC has opened a call for local and foreign submissions, and will accept works from June 1 to 30.
The Bureau held the 1st Macau Printmaking Triennial in 2012, hoping “to enhance the development and exchange between printmaking artists.”
The IC is accepting entries of different printmaking types and production techniques, but works must have been produced in the last five years and can’t have been exhibited in the previous edition. The size of the works on paper must not exceed one square meter, and each individual may only submit a maximum of two works. They must be kept flat and well wrapped up for delivery to the Art Square, ground floor of the Handover Gifts Museum, the Bureau added.
Meanwhile, IC said that it had invited a number of renowned printmakers from China and other countries” to serve as judges.
Rules and regulations, as well as application forms, are available on IC’s website (www.icm.gov.mo) and at the Macau Printmaking Triennial’s official website (www.triennialmacau.com).
