Exhibition Details
WHY?
We love printmaking! We also feel it’s a very misunderstood and under-collected medium. After visiting the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in London several years ago, we have wanted to host a similar celebration of the various printmaking techniques and help our region understand how incredible it really is as a means of artistic expression and collection!
WHEN?
August 15th-September 12th - The exhibition opening reception will be August 15th from 4-9PM. A major portion of sales and traffic come on opening night. Because this is a celebration of printmaking, in addition to the exhibition show, we will also be having interactive demos running during this time as well as live music, refreshments and interactive giveaways. We want to show how exciting and fun Printmaking is!
We are adding a day to the celebration with a demo day Saturday August 16 from 11AM - 5PM this will be more live demonstrations, interactive mini-classes (linocuts, monotype, gel prints, potato prints etc)
WHO?
You! If you have read this far… that means you’re likely excited about printmaking. This is a first come, first served submission process so act quickly! We will do our best to stay up with the submissions and communicate as quickly as possible if it has filled.
HOW?
Because of the unique nature of this event– being more of a fair exposition than a traditional gallery exposition– we will be accepting submissions based on available wall space. Our wall hanging system is a cable-based system instead of nails and hooks. Because of this, we will be sourcing booth grids to hang from our system which can then be used with S hooks or clips to make displaying multiples much easier. As a gallery, we take a 40% commission on all sales. All work is insured during the duration of the show. All work will be available both in-store as well as online.
