Fifth Annual Prints for Peace 2012 Project(Grabados por la Paz)

PRINTS FOR PEACE-GRABADOS POR LA PAZ MÉXICO

This is an annual print project begun by my friend Guadalupe Victorica, who resides in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The invited country for this year is Japan. Prints donated to the PFP collection help benefit the Workshop of Casa Hogar el Refugio, a youth shelter in Monterrey, NL México.
This is a growing exhibition, and last year the show traveled to Greece. It saw over 250 artists from 49 countries participate. The goal is to continue to spread the word about this project to all printmakers, so please pass along the information to friends and colleagues. It is expected that this year's show will travel to the US and other locations.
Entries are due April 1st.
Send prints to: Guadalupe Victorica/PO Box/Apartado Postal #2175/Monterrey NL 64841/ Mexico

  2. Thank you for helping us distribute this call.
    We are exhibiting a Greek selection of Prints at Casa de la Cultura de NL together with the Greek association Athens Art Directed by Takis Alexiou. This year invited country will be the US. This means that the US prints are exhibited in one separate wall. This US selection will be exhibited in November at IMNRC in Monterrey, México.
