THE LANDMARK OPENS ITS DOORS TO BANK HOLIDAY PRINTMAKING FESTIVAL
LONDON: 25 May 2021: This weekend, Teddington’s Landmark Arts Centre is holding a three-day Printmaking Festival from 28-31 May featuring a real-life exhibition of prints and artists’ books, demonstrations and
workshops.
15 artists will be physically presenting, in a social distanced environment, who will be on-hand to talk about their work. There will be an exhibition of works available to buy and the fair café will be open for refreshments. Entry is free, but for the safety of visitors, entry timeslots need to be booked in advance at www.ticketsource.co.uk/landmark-arts-centre or by calling 020 8977 7558.
Visitors will also be able to see the print, signed by the stars of TV hit dramas Normal People and Fleabag – Paul Mescal, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Andrew Scott – when they filmed the Normal People cross-over special for BBC’s Comic Relief at The Landmark last year, which is being raffled in a prize draw to raise vital funds for the centre https://landmark.charityhive.co.uk/raffles
Arts Centre Manager, Lesley Bossine, commented: “We’re very excited to be opening the doors for this festival, it’s going to be a great way to ease back into visiting events again. The safety of our visitors will be our first
priority so there will be full social distancing, timed entry and lots of space to make everyone feel comfortable. We really hope to see you there!”
