Join us on Saturday 4th July (12-4pm) for the official Exhibition Opening and Private View of the Ironbridge Fine Arts Printmaking Open 2026.

This internationally recognised exhibition celebrates excellence in contemporary printmaking, bringing together outstanding artists from across the UK and around the world. The 2026 Open presents a diverse and ambitious selection of works spanning traditional and experimental processes, including etching, lithography, relief, monotype, screenprint, and mixed media practices.

Hosted at Ironbridge Fine Arts within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, this special opening event offers the first opportunity to view the full exhibition before it opens to the public.

The Private View includes:
• First access to the exhibition ahead of public opening
• Live demonstrations and artist insights
• Prize announcements and presentations (over £10,000 in awards)
• Opportunities to meet artists, judges, and sponsors
• A celebratory afternoon within one of the UK's leading printmaking communities

For exhibiting artists, a maximum of one guest per artist is permitted. Each guest must hold a valid ticket.

We look forward to welcoming you for an inspiring afternoon of printmaking, conversation, and celebration.
