Artists are invited to submit work/proposals to Limerick Printmakers Open Submission Print Show. 

The exhibition is open to artists working in all areas of print e.g. digital print or mixed media works with an element of print as well as traditional forms. We will accept up to three prints or works from each artist. If an artist wishes to submit an installation with an element of print, then proposals are welcome, provided a detailed proposal and samples of previous work are included in the application. Normally up to 60 works are selected for the exhibition.
