Antonio Alcaraz exhibits his work, first Castilla-La Mancha Engraving Prize at the Infanta Elena Museum in Tomelloso, Alcaraz chose the Christian M. Walter Serigraphy Workshop for the creation of this impressive 140 x 210 cms. print entitled “Linares – Pozo de S. Vicente”.

The exhibition of the 1st Castile-La Mancha Engraving Prize has been inaugurated at the Infanta Elena Museum in Tomelloso. With a prize of 6000 €, the Castile-La Mancha Printmaking Prize is undoubtedly one of the best endowed printmaking competitions, and is already one of the most important in the country. In our opinion, it is a highly praiseworthy initiative of the Antonio Pérez Foundation, in Cuenca, the University of Castilla-La Mancha, the Virgen de las Viñas Cooperative of Tomelloso and the Valdepeñas Town Council.
