Print Rodeo at Central Machine Works
September 27, 2025 | 11am-4pm
About
Our September 27, 2025, simple-and-fun print fair is hosted by Central Machine Works, a local brewery with an indoor and outdoor venue. This fair will be bare bones. It will be a one-day fair from 11-4pm, with load in and load out day of. Vendors will have a table and space for a print bin–no wall space. Any vendor-provided systems need to be capable of being removed immediately after the fair ends. Print prices for this fair will probably move faster if they are under $100. Spaces are approximately 8×8′ for indoor spaces and 10×10′ for outside spaces. Please note that indoor spaces are not air conditioned.
Call for Entry open until June 15.
Interested in participating? We’re seeking artists who are showing works on paper and/or fabric. While there is some wiggle room with zines and stickers, we favor traditionally printed work such as relief, screen print, etchings, letterpress, etc. If you’re new and are unsure about what you’re offering, feel free to email us at info@printaustin.org.
Step 1
Apply for a space. (We are also taking applications for the 1-3 person show at Central Machine Works for September 2025 through this same form.) This is a limited fair with only 30 spaces available. The entry fee is $10 for non-members and $5 for members and is non-refundable. We encourage artists residing in Texas to apply, though all are welcome. We seek print work (not reproductions) such as relief prints, etchings, lithographs, etc. Prints on fabric or paper are equally invited. One artist per table, please. Please reach us to us with any questions at info@printaustin.org.
Step 2
Invitations will go out no later than July 15. PrintAustin board members will be jurying the fair. We’ll give you a week to accept, then we will go to our list of alternates.
Step 3
After you have been invited to participate, you will need to lock in your space. The spaces will be $150 indoors and $100 outdoors. Outside vendors will be encouraged to bring tents, as the weather can still be relentless in September. Outdoor space will be more conducive to clothing racks, etc, as indoor spaces can’t have racks outside of their area in order to not disrupt traffic flow. Whatever gets set up, indoors or out, must be dismantled quickly without impacting the patrons of CMW.
