9th International Print Exhibition and Exchange
Celebrating The Chinese Year of the Tiger 2010


PROOF Studio Gallery is again pleased to host the 9th International Print Exhibition and Exchange – an opportunity for printmakers from anywhere in the world to connect with each other by exhibiting their print interpretation of the zodiac sign of the TIGER for the Chinese New Year 2010. In previous years artists from China, Mexico, Germany, Japan, Australia, Romania, Scotland, Hong Kong and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario have participated in this exhibition and print exchange.

Each artist creates a limited edition Year of the Ox print using a traditional print technique such as etching, wood block, linoblock, embossing, lithographs, relief, silkscreen or mixed print media. The first print is kept and used for the exhibition. Check out exhibitions & art from previous years on the blogspots.
