Open Calls
Each year as part of our festival (January 15-February 15), we offer opportunities for artists and galleries to exhibit and discuss their work and printmaking processes. We have begun to expand our programming outside of that window. Open calls can be found below.
Calls for our 2025 festival will be opening in September. Be sure to follow us on Instagram for updates!
PrintEXPO — our annual juried print fair
This fair is held at Blue Genie, a 9,000 square foot space in Central Austin. We will be accepting registrations from September 1- October 15. The call is open to all local, regional, and international printmakers. We will notify artists by November 1.
Dates: PrintEXPO will be held February 7-February 9, 2025.
Tenative schedule: Friday we will be open to the public from 6-10pm, Saturday, 12pm-6pm, and Sunday, 12pm-5pm. Vendors are expected to be at their booth, or within the facility, during all operating hours.
Prices: Vendors will be able to purchase wall space in a variety of formats/prices vs. the booth style shown to the left. Stay tuned as we work out these details. We know that fairs are expensive when combined with travel, lodging, and BBQ and we will keep our prices as low as possible.
Jurors: Our fair will be juried by PrintAustin’s board of directors.
