Cork Printmakers is a professional print studio, gallery and resource organisation providing professional artists with the space, technical equipment, expertise & specialist materials needed to make works of excellence from conception to production to public presentation.
The organisation was set up in 1991 to meet the needs of both established and emerging Cork-based artist printmakers without access to studio facilities. Cork Printmakers currently supports over 128 artists from Cork, Munster, Ireland, and beyond, offering a creative space at Wandesford Quay, Cork City. Here, artists can create, collaborate, experiment, and develop ideas, while making, teaching, exhibiting, and selling their artwork.
Although member-focused, the organisation has open engagement and creative strategic partnerships across the cultural and community ecosystem. Those creative partnerships exist with professional and community organisations, artist groups, international networks, and individual artists. The organisation is a hub and a point of connection, social and professional, providing artists with access to a shared workspace and a vibrant network of peers.
