PrintEXPO

PrintAustin’s festival wraps up with our annual print fair, bringing artists and galleries in from all over the US, as well as some international artists. This is a 3-day event and vendors are required to be present during open hours. Expect the following schedule: Friday 6-10, Saturday 12-6, and Sunday 12-5. 

You have been accepted to PrintEXPO 2024! The payment portal will close automatically at the end of the day on Dec. 5th. After that, all remaining spots will be available to those on our waiting list. Your confirmation email will include a link to upload your images for our catalog. 

If your booth of choice is not longer available, be sure to note that you’d like to be on a waiting list should your preferred booth become available. 

Booth fees include chairs but do not include tables. We are providing one chair for the wall option–no tables. There’s just not enough room for tables. V and single booths come with one chair, double booths with 2. There is an option to order additional chairs. 

Set-up:
Thursday, Feb 9, 9-6pm—NEW!
Friday, Feb 10, 9-5pm
Please be ready and open by 6pm on Friday. Doors open at 7, but we will host an artist mixer from 6-7 with drinks and munchies so vendors can mingle. If your booth hosts more than 2 artists, please consider the Vendor Mixer donation of $20 per person. We will also have Venmo and cash collection that evening.  

Hours open to the public–you are expected to be at your booth during these times: 
Friday, Feb 9, 7-10pm
Saturday, Feb 10, 12-6pm
Sunday, Feb 11, 12-5pm If you absolutely must leave for an early flight, please let us know in advance. 

Prices have increased, but we have demo opportunities that may offer you a break on your booth fee
Blue Genie supports the arts and they are very fair with rental fees, but alas, costs have increased. If you are interested in doing a demo, please let us know. We will be accepting proposals between now and the 10th of December. Please send a paragraph of what you’d like to demo with the amount of time needed, including the time required for set-up and breakdown. All inquiries need to be sent to info@printaustin.org. We are looking for experimental printing techniques like kitchen litho and Mokulito. We can have a volunteer sit at your booth while you are demoing. 

Catalog and promotional materials:
Thank you for submitting work and info on yourselves for the application, but we also have a form that needs to be completed for our catalog that can receive hi-res images. The link to this form will be sent to you after payment is received for your booth. 

ALL SALES ARE FINAL! Should you purchase a booth and need to pull out of the fair, we will do our best to fill your spot with someone on our waitlist. There are no guarantees we’ll be able to do that, but if we can give you a refund, we will. We will have a $75 cancellation fee if we have started to design our catalog since it’s a lot of work to repaginate.
