Over a week since Printed Festival: Viva La Print!

We feel so proud of how our little festival has grown each year since we started this in 2023.

Being able to offer more community outreach workshops, more affordable have-a-go activities, showcasing more print artists, collaborating with more print studios UK-wide, curating higher-quality exhibitions, inviting high-calibre guest speakers, and seeing more members of the general public attending the festival and getting stuck in is truly thrilling.

We have hosted Printed Festival 3 times now and each year it seems progressively more precarious to secure funds which go towards providing free/subsidised art activities, the community outreach workshops as well as the artist talks and exhibitions.

If you feel inclined or able to support us, we have set up a JustGiving page 👇

https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/printed?utm_term=DDMx76y6K&utm_medium=FA&utm_source=CL

With your donation we can ensure that we can keep providing a free and accessible art event in Wales which platforms new and emerging Welsh talent, old hand established printmakers as well as helping to inspire the future generation of creative talent in Wales.

Thank you, and big love,

The Printed Festival Team
