The Collector’s Print Draw at Black Church Print Studio returns this December with over 50+ beautiful works from Contemporary Irish Artists.
As the renowned Print Studio celebrates thirty years of their unique Collector’s Print Draw, a ticket guarantees that supporters will go home with an original fine art print by one of their incredible artists, secure in the knowledge that they’re also supporting the beloved print studio in the heart of Dublin City’s Centre.
Speaking ahead of the event, Orla Goodwin, Chair of Black Church Print Studio says that they are encouraging the city’s art lovers to build their art collection. “This is an important date in our programming calendar. It gives people the opportunity to collect the work of professional, contemporary Irish Artists whilst raising necessary funds to support our Studio and activities.”
So, how does it work?
Tickets are allocated in advance by becoming a Black Church Print Studio ‘Collector’ for €200. On purchase of your ticket you will be allocated a ticket number.
On the night of the Draw on the 5th of December, you will be allowed to view the many beautiful and varied prints on display at the Library Project from 6pm, followed by the Draw itself at 7pm.
When your ticket number is drawn, you can choose your favourite print from the selection exhibited, ranging from large scale to small, delicate print and everything in between.
The Studio has a mix of the fine art print techniques including etching, lithography, relief and screen print. The Black Church Print Studio Artists donate a single work to this fundraiser which regularly is twice, three times the value of a ticket.
The support of Collectors is greatly appreciated by the studio, helping them to support hundreds of artists with access to specialized printing facilities in the heart of Dublin City.
The event takes place at Black Church Print Studio at The Library Project, 4 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, from 7pm, on Thursday 5th December 2024, with a viewing and reception getting underway from 6pm.
All prints are by Black Church Print Studio Artists.
Tickets for the Collector’s Draw are now available via the Print Studio’s website. Please support if you can.
