Results of the Call for Submissions for the International Printmaking Conference. Wrocław 2026. Print Media in Contemporary Art. Between Materiality and Immateriality

We are pleased to announce the list of papers accepted for the conference and the graphic works selected for the accompanying exhibition, which will take place at the Neon Gallery from 10 January to 1 February 2026.

A total of 72 paper proposals were submitted by authors representing 21 countries. The high academic quality of the submissions made the selection process particularly demanding, especially given that the limited duration of the conference does not allow for the presentation of all compelling proposals. The Jury appointed by the Organising Committee ultimately selected 28 papers.

For the conference exhibition, 174 works were submitted by artists from 36 countries. Here as well, the number and quality of the submitted works made the selection process exceptionally challenging. Due to the limitations of the exhibition space, it is not possible to present all works that meet the high evaluation criteria. A total of 58 works were selected for the exhibition accompanying the conference.

Authors and presenters will soon receive an email with detailed instructions regarding the next steps.

Registration for conference participants is now open! We encourage all interested individuals to register as general attendees via the platform: ipc.conrego.app
