International Print Exhibition & Exchange
Compact Prints 2024 is a celebration of contemporary print practices, embracing traditional and technological methods. The project has continued as a biennial exhibition since its inception in 2002, so the 2024 exhibition marks 12 exhibitions over the past 22 years. The program provides artists a forum to exchange artwork and ideas. It also provides an opportunity to exhibit in a contemporary art space while supporting Umbrella through its fundraising auction.
