We are very happy to announce the eleventh Sheffield Print Fair!
SPF2024 is happening at The Millennium Gallery, Sheffield Museums on Saturday 9th November 2024.
We wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone who took part in, and who visited Sheffield Print Fair 2023!
It was the busiest fair we've ever had, with around 1500 visitors during the day. With it being our tenth year, we were super-happy with the turn-out, and the printmakers clearly were too.
Extra thanks to Sheffield Museums for hosting our event, ASAP and Hunk Print for supporting us with printed matter (posters, banners, flyers, tote bags), Folksy for the online push, Hawthorn Printing Supplies for being so generous with their prizes, and Kid Acne for providing us with such a great poster image!
Printmakers' Printmaker this year was Jim McElvaney, who received a box of goodies form Hawthorn!
The Print Raffle was amazing this year, with such a bounty of pieces given by the attending artists/printmakers. The lucky five winners have been informed to collect their prizes from The Millennium Gallery.
So to next year!
The date for Sheffield Print Fair 2024 is Saturday 9th November 2024, so put that in your diaries! We will be open for applications late June 2024.

We are very happy to announce the tenth Sheffield Print Fair! We can't believe it has been ten years since we started putting on fairs, time has really flown. It is really great to see so many other great print fairs pop up over the UK too.
SPF2023 is happening at The Millennium Gallery, Sheffield Museums on Saturday 11th November 2023.
Hi there
Well, somehow it is a month since Sheffield Print Fair 2022!
It was a huge success, with over 1500 visitors during the day, which is the biggest crowd we've ever had. It was so great to see all of the printmakers and their work in person, have nerdy print chats with many of them, see the print demos and workshops and generally watch how engaged the visitors were with the whole event.
Printmakers' Printmaker 2022
This was awarded to Nell Smith, who creates colourful abstract compositions in her Manchester studio. Well done, Nell!
The Print Raffle was very popular this year, and all those who won have now been emailed and can collect their prizes from The Millennium Gallery.
We'd like to thank:
Jess at Sheffield Museums for being super-helpful and organised in the run-up to the event, and also for agreeing to host SPF again.
Hawthorn Printmakers for coming along with their quality print equipment, providing a great prize for Printmakers' Printmaker, and being ace friendly people.
Folksy for helping us spread the word far and wide about SPF.
and of the artist/printmakers who, as well as bringing along their wonderful art, did a grand job of helping us promote the event too.
Thanks so much for coming along, if you were able to, and we'll see you in 2023 for our 10th year!
