BALTIC PRINTMAKERS NETWORK MEETING & CONFERENCE
28.08–29.08.2025, ARS Art Factory, Tallinn
We warmly invite printmakers, artists, and members of printmaking communities from across the Baltics to join us for an inspiring gathering in Tallinn. This unique conference is dedicated to exploring the materiality of printmaking today and fostering dialogue within the vibrant Nordic-Baltic printmaking community.
Through insightful discussions and hands-on workshops, we will delve into environmentally conscious, sustainable, and non-toxic printmaking techniques. Together, we will celebrate the distinctive qualities of printmaking processes and explore their role in shaping contemporary artistic practices while addressing ecological responsibility in the field.
The event is organized by a HUG organisation. An initiative dedicated to developing and strengthening the printmaking community across Nordic-Baltic countries.
Join us as we exchange ideas, share expertise, and strengthen the connections within our creative community.
Advance registration is required to attend the conference
