It's always rainbow hour during Print Day in May!

Print Day in May is an annual, global celebration of printmaking taking place on the first Saturday in May. The event is free and open to all. On Print Day in May, tens of thousands of printmakers around the world make prints and share their experiences with others. Printmakers celebrate Print Day in May in print shops, studios, kitchens, on beaches, and sidewalks all over the world! As the day unfolds around the globe, participants in over 80 countries join in this powerful celebration of creativity. We share our work on social media and here on the PDiM website with thousands of others, creating a community chain around the world.

One of the things so many of us have learned during the pandemic, is that art can save lives. It has the power to bring focus and joy, and we are looking forward to sharing and spreading that focus and joy on Print Day in May this year.

Thank you all,
