Woodcut Sensation -- Woodblock Printmaking Re-invented
Xylon Québec, Networker


Herald of art printmaking !

Xylon Québec organizes exhibitions in popular (ex. : arts centres) or specialized environments (ex. : juried art shows) in the province of Québec and abroad, with the purpose of informing experts, the general public and printmakers around the world about its publications, that is to say catalogs, art books and its members' art production. On the occasion of collective art books exhibitions, members may sometimes simultaneously present their individual art books. Newspaper and magazine documentation, published in the various countries where such events took place, including Québec and Canada, are available upon request.

Exhibitions of art books and/or their components !

Xylon Québec organizes exhibitions of art books and/or their components, produced by its members. In the case of an art book, the exhibition is designated by the same term as the one entitling it, thus specifying the theme being momentarily privileged.
