9TH INTERNATIONAL LITHOGRAPHIC SYMPOSIUM
July 28th – August 1st 2026
The Lithographic Academy is delighted to announce the 9th International Lithographic Symposium, to be held in Tidaholm, Sweden.
The Symposium will open with a ceremonial inauguration on Tuesday, 28 July 2026, marking the beginning of an intensive week dedicated to lithography in. all its forms. From Wednesday, 29 July through Saturday, 1 August, the program will feature four full days of lectures, presentations, and practical demonstrations by invited artists, educators, and practitioners from around the world. On Sunday, 2 August, the printshop and exhibitions will remain open as we gently conclude the first week of activities. The exhibitions will continue to be open to the public for an additional week, closing on Sunday, 9 August, offering extended opportunities for viewing, discussion, and reflection.
The theme of the 2026 Symposium will be “Education”. With this focus, we aim to explore how lithographic knowledge is generated, transmitted, and sustained — across institutions, workshops, studios, and informal learning environments. We hope that the Symposium will serve as a meeting point for educators, artists, students, and researchers, and as a space for dialogue, skill-sharing, and international networking within the lithographic community.
We welcome proposals for presentations and technical demonstrations to [email protected]
Registration for participation in Symposium and/or Exhibitions is now open, please find them via https://lithonet.nu/
Further details regarding the program, participants, and practical information will be shared there in due course. We very much look forward to welcoming you to Tidaholm this summer.
