History
Founded in 2000, Philagrafika is a regional consortium of individuals and organizations interested in understanding the impact of the printed image in contemporary art. In April 2006 its founding name was changed from the Philadelphia Print Collaborative to Philagrafika, but its mission to promote and sustain printmaking as a vital and valued art form by providing artistic, programmatic and administrative leadership for large-scale, cooperative initiatives with broad public exposure remains the same. Building upon the region’s rich history and abundant artistic resources, Philagrafika not only encourages a critical dialogue, but it continues to provide benefits for the local arts community by enhancing the city’s presence as an international center for printmaking. All of this is realized through international contemporary art festivals, an annual invitational portfolio, and various notable public projects. Philagrafika’s programs have been designed to promote new curatorial and critical models for printmaking-disciplines in which the medium is (re)presented as an integral component of current artistic practices.
