Friends of Printfest
As a Friend you help to keep the future of Printfest alive. We all need Friends. Printfest is run and managed by artists and art-lovers, 13% of our funding comes from trusts, foundations and local authorities, 35% comes from our exhibiting artists, just 6% comes from Friends of Printfest, the remaining finance comes from admissions, catalogue advertising and several smaller revenue streams such as the raffle. We are very grateful to all Friends who joined us this year.
The new Printfest 2026 Friends of Printfest membership card is being designed and will carry a work by the Printmakers’ Printmaker 2025: Aga Kubish.
