    23rd Mini Print International Exhibit

    The Mini Print International is a juried exhibition of prints no larger than 4” x 4”. The Exhibition has been held bi-annually since 1985 and was founded and directed by Bev McLean who sought to challenge artists and provide an affordable form in which international art could be brought together. The Ink Shop began organizing this exciting exhibit starting with 16th Mini Print International. Our Mini Print shows have attracted artists from around the world including Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay as well as many artists from the United States.

    These wonderful prints are displayed in 6” x 6" frames that make great gifts and can be available to take home during and after December 5th Mini Print Holiday Sale.
