About us
Join RAMP for a weekend celebrating printmaking at Print in Action Festival 26-27 April 2025
The festival will highlight printmaking from all corners of the Southwest and beyond. A platform to connect creatives from multiple disciplines, reflect with the making community and provide a platform to discuss what the future has in store for Printmaking.
Throughout the weekend you will see a focus on exploring our continued theme of Creative Intersections in Print with printmakers, artists, designers, digital technology and the future of Ai. Exploring the power of collaboration and working to share skills and knowledge.
