Exhibitions

Each year, we organise an annual exhibition for our Members and Associates. Recent venues include Embassy Tea Gallery, Shoreditch Town Hall Basement, Forman’s Smokehouse Gallery, the V&A Museum of Childhood, Bankside Gallery and the Brothers Grimm Museum, Kassel, Germany and most recently the The Art Pavilion. We welcome input and energy from Associates who want to help curate and organise exhibitions. We also run a series of events throughout the year, including open studios, visits and social events.

Boxset

Every year ELP Associates have the opportunity to be part of the annual boxset of prints. The set is held in the print archive at the V&A Museum and with John Purcell who donates the paper for the boxset. Throughout the year the boxset may get displayed at a number of locations as well as on permanent display in the ELP Studio.

Market Stalls

ELP Associates can submit prints to sell at a number of market events that we participate in throughout the year. Those have included The Independent Label Market, Hackney Wicked, Just Got Made and many others.

Artist’s Talks

Associates receive priority invitation to all our Artist Talks. We invite a range of guest speakers from the printmaking and art worlds. Recent speakers have include Catherine Daunt from the British Museum, master printer Thomas Gosebruch, Elisabeth Reissner from The Courtauld and Mike Taylor, founder of Paupers Press.
