Mission

Our goal as a print collective is to fund an environmentally conscious print studio for local artists, recent graduates, and the general public while fostering a contemporary, active print culture in Regina, Saskatchewan. We collaborate with local musicians, individuals, businesses, and festivals to produce unique, hand-printed  products that are fine-tuned to meet the needs of each client.  At this stage in our development we are raising funds to purchase equipment and materials but it is our goal to open our studio to the public within the year. We will be offering educational programs, community access, collaborative publishing opportunities and many other activities that promote and support the appreciation of printmaking arts. We are thrilled to be participating in the development of the downtown Regina art-scene and proud to be housed under the roof of the Creative City Centre.
