The aim of Manifestampe – Fédération nationale de l’estampe – is to promote contemporary and heritage printmaking in all its forms. Its role is to bring together and federate those involved in printmaking in France and abroad. To this end, the Federation is developing various initiatives to promote this medium of artistic expression.
La Fête de l’estampe: an annual event that brings together all those involved in printmaking in France and beyond!
Exhibitions, studio open days, courses and conferences are organised throughout France, as well as in Europe and internationally. La Fête de l’estampe is open to everyone involved in printmaking: visual artists, engravers, lithographers, screen printers, gallery owners, museums, printers and print collectors.
They are all keen to promote printmaking to the public, with an annual spotlight on 26 May, during the Fête de l’Estampe.
A new website available to all:
The Manifestampe website is intended to be a place of exchange and information, with regular updates on national and international printmaking news, as well as a forum for sharing ideas through the organisation of master classes and round tables.
