The Friends of Dard Hunter is proud to be a sponsor for the 6th National Collegiate Handmade Paper Art Triennial!

The National Collegiate Handmade Paper Art triennial was founded in 1999. Each triennial offers college students a way to show the country what they add to the field of handmade paper art.

Students in 2 year, 4 year and Masters programs are eligible, and entries are managed through the schools so that students do not need to pay to compete. Jurors represent the most exciting curators, artists, and gallerists involved in the field. Venues are located in diverse university galleries, museums, and art centers around the country. Sponsors from papermaking centers and materials suppliers across the US offer awards and special residencies to recognize the accomplishments of student artists working with their own handmade paper.
