Screen prints and other print techniques are some of the most accessible forms of art, and many of us have at least a few framed pieces on the walls of our homes. The inaugural Spokane Print Fest celebrates this tangible and traditional art form with a festival, gallery exhibit and a series of workshops to learn a thing or two about the process. The Friday evening festival kicks it off with an intro to printmaking’s varied processes, including the ubiquitous screenprint, along with stamping, intaglio and carving. Local university art clubs and artists will also sell their prints, and the new show Tangible Gestures opens (April 5-27) in the Terrain Gallery, featuring art by 35 local and national printmakers. A series of workshops ($50 each) begin the following day, continuing each Saturday in April. The Spokane Print Fest is a partnership between Terrain and Spokane printmaker Reinaldo Gil Zambrano.
