PhotoIreland and Black Church Print Studio present the first instalment of HALFTONE, Dublin’s fresh new print fair.

HALFTONE looks at how different printing processes coexist in a diverse range of artistic and creative practices; we will celebrate the printed matter in all its forms. The program will offer workshops, demo sessions, and talks, plus a large exhibition of selected artist’s prints from the open call. The fair is part of the VIEW Arts Week in Temple Bar, supported by the Temple Bar Company.
