Our Story

L’Empreinte was borned in Givors in 1995, thanks to Alain Piroir, line-engraveur, and fellow artists.

These days, more than 20 french artists are part of L’Empreinte-Lyon, as well as bresilian and danish artists.

Our goal is to encourage printing and exhibitions, group projects and cultural exchanges. That is why L’Empreinte organised in the past several exhibitions and exchanges with Quebec, Romania, Brazil, and recently Germany and Czech Republic.

L’Empreinte periodically enhances its artbooks collections: « Bestiaire », « Frontière », « Envol », … and « Petites collections », a collaboration between a poete and an engraver.
