Balıkesir University Mail Print (BUMP) International Printmaking Exhibition, organized by Balıkesir University Faculty of Fine Arts Printmaking Department, was held for the first time in 2021. BUMP is derived from “Mail Art”. Mail art, which focuses on sending small-scale works through the mail, also known as mail art or letter art, has turned into a global art event as an artistic movement. The difference between Mail Print and Mail Art is that the works sent are produced using printing techniques. It consists of works printed on a surface and sent via mail. The printmaking's ability to be reproduced, produced in different sizes and easily transported allows them to be easily sent by post to anywhere in the world. BUMP creates an artistic sharing space between the audience and artists through printmaking, which by its nature can reach wider audiences. BUMP brings together printmaking artists from all over the world.
