Powerhouse Arts Hosts the First-Ever Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair

# Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair: A New Destination for Print Enthusiasts

The **Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair (BFAPF)** is set to debut from **March 27 to 30**, marking a significant addition to the New York art fair calendar. Organized by **Powerhouse Arts (PHA)**—a nonprofit dedicated to fostering creative expression—this new fair is constructed to highlight the art of printmaking, bringing together artists, publishers, galleries, and collectors under one roof.

## A New Platform for the Art of Printmaking

Fine art prints have long been cherished for their meticulous craftsmanship, affordability, and historical significance. With BFAPF, Powerhouse Arts seeks to create fresh opportunities for both print producers and collectors, enriching the already-thriving market for print-based works. The fair will host **over 75 exhibitors**, ranging from established print studios and galleries to emerging independent publishers, offering a dynamic landscape of contemporary and historically significant prints.

## Engaging Experiences: Talks, Demonstrations, and Workshops

Beyond its exhibitions, BFAPF aims to inform and inspire visitors through **live demonstrations, engaging discussions, and hands-on workshops**. Highlights include:

– **Stone Lithograph Demonstration** by the **Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop**, providing an up-close look at this traditional printmaking technique.
– **”Prints vs. Posters Battle Royale”**, a spirited discussion featuring **Angelina Lippert** (Executive Director and Curator at **Poster House**) and **Nicholas Lowry** (President of **Swann Auction Galleries**), which will tackle the artistic and commercial distinctions between fine art prints and mass-produced posters.

## Generator Booths: Lowering Barriers, Elevating Talent

The fair also introduces a new initiative called **”Generator Booths.”** This special, invitation-only section provides subsidized booths to ensure access for underrepresented printmakers and studios. The **2025 Generator Booth participants** include:

– **Du-Good Press** – A Brooklyn-based, Black female-owned fine art screenprinting studio.
– **Praise Shadows Art Gallery** – A Boston-based gallery with a commitment to contemporary art and mentorship in publishing.
– **Crow’s Shadow Institute for the Arts** – A nonprofit organization supporting Native American artists since 1992.

By offering reduced-cost exhibition space to these pioneering initiatives, BFAPF reinforces its mission to promote inclusivity and diversity in printmaking.

## Exclusive Collector Benefits: Rob Pruitt’s Scratch-Off Print Edition

A standout attraction at this year’s fair is an exclusive **limited-edition scratch-off print series by artist Rob Pruitt**. Created in collaboration with the **PHA Printshop**, this edition of **300 prints** features variations of Pruitt’s renowned panda motif, blending elements of surprise with his signature artistic style.

Collectors at the **$250 VIP level** will receive one of four distinct panda prints as part of their ticket purchase, along with additional perks such as:
