Iowa Biennial
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iowa Biennial Exhibition [TIBE] began in 2004 as an international survey of contemporary miniature printmaking with its initial exhibition held at The University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. Works juried for the exhibition travel for exhibitions within the U.S. as well as internationally. The Iowa Biennial Exhibition is a nonprofit endeavor that serves to support a collection of works within an open archive [The Iowa Biennial Exhibition Archive] while making them available for academic research, museums, artists, and print students. Works within the archive are used to promote a greater awareness of the uniqueness and beauty of the print and print media [both traditional and nontraditional]. Submissions for works are accepted on even years beginning in January through April. The Iowa Biennial Exhibition is an all-volunteer, nonprofit, cultural and research-oriented event, and no profits are sought from its submissions and/or participants, while submitted and accepted works will never be sold. The 2006 exhibition is currently underway and additional information can be obtained by visiting:
