    International Original Print Exhibition 2026

     

    The International Original Print Exhibition, established by the Royal Society of Printmakers (RE), showcases works in contemporary printmaking from a huge international open submission. Works selected this year include artists based in the UK and 17 other countries and demonstrate the broad range of techniques and the exciting and innovative ways artists are using this diverse medium. 

     

    This year’s selection panel includes RSA Director, Colin Greenslade. Each of this year’s selectors were invited to include a work either by themselves or to represent them, and as a joint member of both the RSA and the RE, Ade Adesina RSA was chosen to represent Colin.


    See this plus nearly 200 works in printmaking at London’s Bankside Gallery in November.

    About the Royal Society of Printmakers

    Originally known as the Society of Painter-Etchers, the Royal Society of Printmakers (RE) was founded in 1880.


    We received our Royal Charter from Queen Victoria in 1888 and we changed our name in 1991 to embrace a broader range of printmaking practices, but we have retained the abbreviation RE to this day as our identity.


    We are extremely proud of our history, but printmaking is a dynamic and forward-looking pursuit and the current membership contains some of the most innovative and creative artists working in every print-based medium imaginable.
    The RE aims to create long-term opportunities for artists and promote printmaking to a wider audience.
