For the last 6 years the Horsebridge has been proud to host a series of exceptional print based exhibitions, developing a reputation as a venue for national and international print artists to showcase and sell their work in our ground floor galleries.
It has now become a tradition to begin the start of our yearly annual creative programme with a Horsebridge led curated print exhibition and this year we are delighted to be holding our FIRST print based OPEN show.
We are inviting submissions from both established and emerging printmakers, to celebrate contemporary printmaking, showcase a rich variety of limited edition hand printed work and give you, the artist, an opportunity to exhibit and sell your prints alongside other contemporary print artists.
You can purchase up to three submissions. Once you have purchased you will be emailed a document that confirms the Submission Terms and Conditions you have agreed to along with further information on how to submit all the information.
