York Printmakers are delighted to announce the Festival of Print, a celebration of creativity, craft, and community right in the heart of historic York.

Hosted at 22 High Petergate, very close to York Minster, this unique event showcases the diverse talents of our members through a curated exhibition of original prints — from linocut and etching to screenprint and collagraph. Visitors will also be able to explore the stories and processes behind each piece and meet the makers behind the art.

This year’s Festival is more than an exhibition. It’s an invitation: to discover, to ask questions, and to support local artists keeping traditional and contemporary printmaking alive.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a curious creative, or just looking for something inspiring to do in York — come along and experience the energy of print firsthand.

Highlights include:

 A colourful exhibition of original prints for sale

 Live printmaking demonstrations

 Learn new skills in our printmaking workshops

 Opportunities to meet the artists

 A vibrant and friendly creative atmosphere

Entry is free and everyone is welcome. Come and support independent artists and explore one of York’s most exciting creative collectives.

We are incredibly grateful to Skippko and York Conservation Trust for making 22 High Petergate available to us for the Festival.
