About us
EPI 2008 is a world-class event that will focus attention on Edmonton as a centre of vision and leadership in visual arts and culture. EPI 2008 will open eyes and minds to evolving graphic traditions around the world, engaging audiences with a magical energy and sense of connection with artists and cultures from Boston to Beijing.
The event will showcase all print-art mediums including but not limited to; delicate bookplate miniatures; large print installations incorporating sculpture and video; and etchings, magnificently rendered to digital murals and fabric.
An international jury will select winning works from local and international print-artists.
SNAP will work with the University of Alberta as well as other local and national arts organizations in the presentation of integrated functions, including expositions, lectures, panel discussions and workshops.
The Edmonton Print International 2008 confirms SNAP’s mission to support printmaking and related activity; to increase the local community's understanding and appreciation of printmaking and print-related work; to provide a forum for local artists to gain exposure to print techniques and print-related issues; and to facilitate the exchange and exhibition of work from local, regional, national and international artists.
