This week the East London Printmakers Annual Exhibition “Festival of Print” continues at the Art Pavilion, Clinton Road. The festival features a huge variety of works produced by the printmakers based down in Copperfield Road (by the Ragged School Museum). Most of the works are for sale, including the “box set” section featuring works for £50 each.

A highlight this year is a live event on Thursday 8 October from 7-9PM: ‘The Dreaming of Butterflies’, an evening of performance exploring how printmaking communicates through dance and music, ending with a collaborative collage led by ELP artist duo Jairo Zaldua and Nicola Jane Green.

Festival of Print 2026 is East London Printmakers’ annual exhibition and the highpoint of its creative year, celebrating contemporary printmaking by around 100 established and emerging artists. Visitors have the rare chance to see and acquire original prints, alongside this year’s Box Set of forty original works. The show spans a wide range of techniques — woodblock, screen print, etching and relief, as monoprints and limited editions — and reflects ELP’s values of community and co-operation.

Member and Festival organiser Inga Eičaitė said:

‘Our goal for this show is to explore how different perspectives interact within a shared space. Every piece tells a unique story, and I encourage visitors to take their time, start conversations and really connect with the work.’
