The IN Graafika festival of print art was founded in the 1990s by the former art department at the Sütevaka Humanities Senior Secondary School in Pärnu. Back then its main idea was to provide an outlet for students and promote the genre of graphic art. By now the former student art festival has developed into an international event. However, the internationalism of the IN Graafika Festival should still not be seen as its sole or even main criterion.
