The only event of its kind in the province, it brings together artists, studios and artist-run centers to encourage discover and energize contemporary printmaking practices, which are currently experiencing a boom. Held in the spring, the festival offers a free program open to all: workshops, exhibitions and public presentations follow one another over ten days in various venues around the city. In particular, it hosts the Grande Printed Art Fair, a not-to-be-missed event in the festivities, offering more than fifty artists the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work in a single venue. It’s also an opportunity for networking, discovery and knowledge-sharing between artists.
