Steamroller Printmaking Event in Creede, CO

The Creede Arts Council, Creede, CO hosted our 5th annual Steamroller Printmaking event on September 21st, 2024 from 9 am - 1 pm. This is an outdoor printmaking event held in Creede, Colorado to fulfill our non-profit mission to promote the arts and humanities in our community through education, exhibition and performance and to foster local artistic talent.

Artists are to create and carve the boards with their own original design. The day of the event, the boards are inked by hand, placed on the street with paper placed over the boards where a Steamroller (Road Bed Compactor) will roll over them pressing the paper onto the board. The resulting outcome is a fine art print.

Prints are available for purchase through our online sale site. Buy Here

50% of each purchase returns to the artist and 50% to support the nonprofit missions of the Creede Arts Council.
