The Printfest collection exhibition

Printfest is a printmaking festival dedicated to the exhibition and sale of contemporary hand-made prints. The event takes place annually over the course of the early May bank holiday at the Coro in Ulverston town centre. The event has been quoted as one of the most important print fairs in the national calendar.

Each year, the Printmaker of the year is commissioned to produce an artwork which will form part of the Printfest collection. This important collection now has over 15 works of art which will be on display at Swarthmoor Hall from Friday 3 May.

Donations welcome.
