Print Fest Wolverhampton is the launch of a new Printmaking Festival which will showcase the work of printmakers throughout the region and beyond. The festival aims to celebrate printmaking in all its forms, from traditional to contemporary.
The 3-day festival (Friday 7th – Sunday 9th November 2025), will showcase handmade original prints from both professional and hobbyist printmakers. Our celebration commences on Friday 7th November at Wolverhampton Arts Centre in Wolverhampton and will include the launch of the exhibition with music, Meet the Artist and Printmaking demonstrations. The exhibition will provide an opportunity for visitors to buy affordable, original art from local artists.
Applications are now open for printmakers looking to exhibit their work. We encourage all printmakers, whether you are new to printmaking or a seasoned artist, to exhibit with us and to showcase your work. There are stands available for those who have multiple prints and a prize exhibition for individual pieces. Email printfestwolverhampton@yahoo.com for an application form and further details.
We will be running a series of workshops throughout the summer. Please contact us for details.
