DNSPE has received great acclaim as it has grown to be one of the country’s foremost annual competitions for prints.
The Delta National Small Prints Exhibition was created with students in mind. It is meant to be a resource for printmaking students and instructors to view and assess contemporary standards of printmaking as they develop over time.
“This creates an environment for learning opportunities and creative thinking, promoting new ideas which stretch the limits of the medium,” noted Garry Holstein, director of Bradbury Art Museum. “In addition, it is an outreach program which serves as a resource for the region, bringing attention to printmaking as a medium but also sharing the variety of stories told by each individual piece.
