Print Futures: Community Print Party

1926 S. Halsted Street, Chicago, IL
In celebration of Dr. Margaret Taylor Burroughs’s birthday month, join the Chicago Printers Guild and the South Side Community Art Center for Print Futures: Community Print Party, an afternoon of printmaking, creative exchange, and community connection as part of GRABADOLANDIA.
Honoring Dr. Burroughs’s printmaking legacy and the spirit of creative exchange she nurtured, this hands-on gathering invites printmakers of all experience levels to experiment, make art, and connect in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.
Come early to explore collage and Risograph printing, or join us later in the afternoon for relief printing. Whether you’re an experienced printmaker, a student, or simply curious about the process, everyone is welcome to participate, play, and connect through print.
About GRABADOLANDIA
Organized by the Instituto Gráfico de Chicago (IGC), GRABADOLANDIA inspires new generations to engage in printmaking as a social force. Through an international portfolio exchange, community workshops, and a three-day printmaking festival, the project expands access to cultural resources and events.
Taking place November 20–22, 2026, across Pilsen, Bridgeport, and Chicago, GRABADOLANDIA is a free, family-friendly celebration spanning multiple cultural venues throughout the city. The primary print vendor fair will be hosted at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen, with additional activations at print shops, museums, and cultural spaces throughout the weekend.
GRABADOLANDIA welcomes artists, students, youth, Latinx families, working-class families, and communities of color. All events are free and open to the public!
