We will be able to meet our 3 year funding target faster and be able to use additional funding to set up community workshops in future years - you could come and join us!
We are a collective of print artists in Scotland who aim to establish an annual festival of printmaking and spread the word about the joy of this brilliant art form. For us to be sustainable in future years, we need to have our own panels with custom-made clamps to hang artists' work on - you'd be surprised by how heavy framed artwork is! Our members have contributed a lot of their own money (over £12k) to pay for our start-up costs and this is now the only remaining expenditure that we need to be able to cover going forward.
The cost of the panels and clamps is approx £8k and we are aiming to cover this over the first three years of our Festival so that we can be completely independent and sustainable going forward. It may sound really boring, helping to buy panels and steel clamps, but it's been the toughest part of setting up our Festival!
Once we have secured the funding for this, it will enable us to focus much more on working with our community partners to get more people understanding original printmaking and even helping them to give it a go themselves.
