Come join us at the Athenaeum Art Center on May 2nd from 1-5pm for our Print Day in May festivities! This free event celebrates all things printmaking and community. We’re opening the print studio and classroom for community members to come and get their hands inky. No experience necessary; all ages welcome! We will have various demos in letterpress, monotype, screen, and relief.

Join our raffle and get a chance to win some printmaking giveaways!

This event is generously supported by the ResMed foundation. Also, a huge thank you to Cranfield Colours for donating ink to our giveaway.

Hope to see you there
