Miniprint Finland will be organized for the 6th time. It is an
exceptionally comprehensive and notable graphic arts presentation both
nationally and internationally. It has established its position among
miniature graphic art exhibitions and the interest for the event has been
constantly growing. The patron for the exhibition is Mrs Tarja Halonen,

An international jury will select the works to be exhibited and distribute
the prizes. The members of the Jury are graphic artist Sirje Eelma from
Estonia, graphic artist Lars Wikström from Sweden, one of the prize
winners of the 2004 Miniprint Triennial, graphic artist Johanna
Kiivaskoski representing the Association of Finnish Printmakers, curator

Piironen representing The Graphic Artist Association of Lahti. The winners
of the Grand Prix prize of EUR 3,000 and two honorary prizes of EUR 1,500
will be published and the prizes awarded at the opening ceremony of the
exhibition in November 2007.
A full colour catalogue portraying the exhibited prints will accompany the
exhibition. The catalogue will be sold at Lahti Art Museum and in the shop
of the Graphic Artist Association of Lahti at Art Brewery.
