Festival of Print

Festival of Print is East London Printmakers’ annual exhibition is held at The Art Pavilion, Mile End Park. The exhibition is the highpoint of ELP’s creative year. It celebrates the exciting range of contemporary printmaking and wealth of skill and talent at ELP from established artists to emerging creatives.
At the Festival of Print visitors have a rare opportunity to see and acquire original prints by 99 participating artists. The prints showcase ELP’s excellent facilities and the processes we offer: woodblock, screenprint, etching and lino. We are also delighted to launch the recently completed limited-edition 2024 ELP Box Set, a collection of 30 x 30 cm prints that are for sale individually and as a set.

At this year’s opening event we are honoured to welcome Paul Catherall.

East London Printmakers warmly thanks all our sponsors for so generously donating prizes and other support to Festival of Print 2024.

25 Years

This year, East London Printmakers is celebrating its 25th birthday. Yes, you heard correctly, thats 25 fabulous years of ELP.

Over those years a whole host of wonderful people have contributed to the success of our community, and we’d like to say a very big thank you to each and every one of them. Without their continuous support ELP wouldn’t have made it this far.

And it’s with your support that ELP continues to support its printmaking community.
