PRINTED FESTIVAL Returns: Print Harder!
PRINTED FESTIVAL will return to Cardiff for its second year, thanks to secured funding and support from the Arts Council of Wales and Chapter Arts Centre. We have been told to anticipate bigger and better!
Chapter Arts Centre, 8th- 9th June 2024, 11am-4pm: A fun, free, family-friendly weekend celebrating all things print.
Making its debut last summer, PRINTED FESTIVAL landed in Cardiff with a bang. Dreamed up by seasoned printers, Tom Whitehead (The Printhaus, Ed & Flo) and Aidan Saunders (Print Wagon, Prints of Hay), their mission is simple but extensive: to build on the existing print culture in South Wales, and make the artform accessible to the masses. “The festival set-up enables links to be made, resources to be shared and serves as a basis of opportunity and participation for all involved.”
The Printhaus resides in Chapter Arts Centre, Canton. Around the corner are Cardiff Print Workshop and Print Market Project. The ‘print triangle’, if you will. Also in the vicinity are The Amplifier Press, Prim Print, Llanover Hall and Oriel Canfas, to name but a few more print-related organisations who make up the localised print hub.
