The Manchester Print Fair is a free, independent arts event that showcases work from the worlds of art, design, and photography. The next fair will take place later this month at the People’s History Museum. Many types of printed works will be on sale, including: artist’s books, zines, posters, postcards, T-shirts and tea towels. The fair was launched in 2011 by designer Alessandra Mostyn as a community for local creatives. The aim was to create a place where emerging artists, students, and freelance designers could all sell their work side-by-side. It has previously been held at several iconic venues in Manchester, such as Night & Day Café, 2022 NQ, and MadLab. Its move to a more permanent home at the PHM is due to a boost in size and popularity. Details of specific stalls available on the Facebook page.
Sat 18 Apr, People’s History Museum, Left Bank, Spinningfields, M3 3ER, 11.30am – 4.30pm, FREE entry, www.facebook.com
