The Biennial is an international show in graphic arts. It was organized
for the first time in 2002. Already in that first year, it became a prominent
international event for authors in graphic arts using conventional techniques,
and contributed considerably to the presentation of the Plzen Region in
tourism and in the cultural and social life in the Region. Each consequential
show had moved the Biennial both in quality and the number of entered
artists. We believe that the show in 2008 meets the same expectations.
