Alberta Printmakers logo

Alberta Printmakers presents their 7th annual Print it Yourself Festival, including a free day of various printmaking activities guided by professional printmaking instructors. Participants of the PIY Festival will be walked through printmaking processes, both technical and creative so they may engage in the process themselves and learn what goes into making a finished print! This year there will be a linocut station, child-friendly station, silkscreen t-shirt station and our newly arrived letterpress station. Drop-in at any time and get involved in Calgary’s arts culture and see what Alberta Printmakers is all about!

Alberta Printmakers is a non-profit, artist-run center founded in 1989 in Calgary, Alberta. The organization’s goals are to increase public awareness of print media, to engage a diverse audience, to provide resources for the artistic community and production facilities for printmaking. A/P promotes printmaking as an evolving, contemporary medium by providing artists and the public with access to production facilities, education programs, research opportunities, lectures, and exhibitions of new work.

Alberta Printmakers is part of the celebrations occurring throughout the province during Alberta Culture Days 2017. Alberta Culture Days runs September 29 to October 1 and is the province’s largest celebration of our heritage, arts, community spirit and cultural diversity.
