Participation this year set records! Just since Print Day in May 2016, there have been upwards of 18,000 artists reached on Facebook. On Instagram and Twitter, thousands more artists shared their work with us. Our final participation roster puts us at 45 US states and 46 countries! Who would have known a small group of printmakers at a community college in California could reach out to this many artists worldwide?

We are astonished, printmakers. We are thankful, and so proud to have you with us. Here’s to another successful year!

Stay Connected
Having built this beautiful community, don’t forget to check back and share your work year round! In the meantime, we’ll be looking forward to everything Print Day In May 2018 has in store for us.

Thank you all.

For ten years Monterey Peninsula College Printmakers (MPC) have devoted the first Saturday in May to fine art printmaking. What began locally in the greater Monterey Bay Area of California in 2007, has become a worldwide event. In 2016, artists from 32 US states, 35 different countries and all 7 continents participated!

By providing a creative synergy and a forum for sharing and building community, this event unites printmakers worldwide and fosters a better understanding and appreciation of printmaking.

Participation is easy. Just make a print on May 6, 2017! Let the world know what you are doing by chiming in on our blog, Instagram and/or Facebook page.

Send us photos of your prints, your studios and your printmaking friends.

Invite guests and friends into your studios to share your love of printmaking.

Please join us! Make a print anywhere on May 6. Complete an edition, try a new technique, make a footprint in the sand or snow, kiss a mirror, make handprints with kids…just print, enjoy, share and let us know about it!
