The inaugural DC Risoprint Fair arrives this fall, cementing its place as a must-attend event in DC’s arts calendar. Presented by East City Art, the region’s go-to source for visual art news, the fair will take place at Eastern Market’s North Hall on Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24. The print fair celebrates the vibrant world of Risography, a quirky printing technique that blends the convenience of digital duplication with the wonderfully unexpected results that come from screen printing.
More than two dozen artists, graphic designers, presses and printers from DC, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Richmond, and Philadelphia will display hundreds of original prints, books, and cards—offering an accessible entry point for new collectors, with many works priced affordably.
Attendees will explore the charm of RISO prints, known for their vibrant colors, subtle misregistrations, and textured, retro aesthetic, qualities that make every piece truly one of a kind.
