Thank you for such a great Print Day in May 2025!

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

This year’s Print Day in May was particularly moving. Tens of thousands of printmakers all taking time out from the troubles of the world to do what they love to do. Together. All across the globe. There was a resonance to it, and sense of peace and gratitude that was palpable.

Thank you. We have deep appreciation for all who participated and for our generous sponsors for their support of this wonderful project. Take a look at our blog to see some gorgeous prints and to read about the people and processes involved in making them.

Keep printing and posting throughout the year, and get ready for PDiM 2026!
