Brighton Print Fair

posted by Beatriz Camargo September 19, 2017

The Brighton Print Fair is a new and exciting 10-day print selling event promoting printmaking in its various forms. It will happen from the 15th to the 24th of September. From classic printmaking, letterpress, posters, screen-printed gig posters to print products, the show will be a celebration of printmakers and printmaking. There will be great workshops for those wanting to learn something new, or wanting to make their own artworks at home.

The main gallery at Phoenix Brighton will host the main fair, with the entire space being hung with unframed prints, allowing the customer to choose the frame they wish as well as giving the exhibition a sense of unity. The rest of the venue will be used for printmaking classes, talks, demonstration, one-day specials, a 20th Century printmakers exhibition, an in-house framer and a café.
