Philadelphia Portal

Philagrafika is a regional consortium of individuals and organizations interested in the understanding the impact of the printed image in contemporary art. In 2010 Philagrafika intends to produce an international, multi-sited art exhibition and festival that will celebrate the printed image as a core strategy for artists today. The organization was originally founded in 2000 as the Philadelphia Print Collaborative. The name was changed in April 2006.

Philagrafika artistic director, Jose Roca, leads a team of curators from Philadelphia museums and galleries who will develop a set of curated exhibitions that will premier in January 2010 and run through April of that year in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Philagrafika 2010 will be a region-wide event.
