What is Print In Action?

Print in Action was originally founded on three core areas of focus: supporting the printmaking communities of Plymouth and the wider South West; strengthening and supporting pathways and opportunities for emerging practitioners; and expanding public engagement with printmaking.

• Printmaking continues to thrive across Plymouth and the wider South West, supported by a dynamic and dedicated creative community. Print in Action works to strengthen these networks by bringing practitioners together to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and advance the region’s printmaking practice.

• Print in Action is committed to developing structured progression routes for students and graduates, contributing to the retention, professionalisation, and longterm sustainability of creative talent within the region. Through residencies and our creative intersection programmes artists and makers are supported in engaging with digital technologies.

• The initiative enhances public engagement by providing avenues to explore the techniques of printmaking, meet the artists and makers who share their processes, and engage with creative communities in meaningful ways. It also enables audiences to purchase original prints, ensuring continued support for the craft and its practitioners.
