Exhibitions

We organise an annual exhibition for our Associate Members. 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 supporters who want to help curate and organise exhibitions. We also put on a series of events throughout the year, including open studios, visits and social events. For the past four years we have hosted a stand at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, which we open up to our Associate Members to participate in.

Box Set

Every year ELP Associates have the opportunity to be part of the annual box set 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 box set. Throughout the year the Box Set may get displayed at a number of locations as well as on permanent display in the ELP Studio.
