About Last Best Print Fest:
Last Best Print Fest is an annual month-long event devoted entirely to the wonderful world of printmaking, and is a fundraiser for the ZACC’s Public Print Shop. Each LBPF we feature a local print artist, host a portfolio exchange and print auction, and provide free print demos.

About LBPF Gallery Event & Portfolio Exchange:
As part of the upcoming 2022 Last Best Print Fest, the ZACC Print Shop is hosting its 11th Annual Portfolio Exchange. All printmakers are invited to submit an edition of 12 prints based on the theme "Shadows". Of the edition of twelve, ten of the prints will be redistributed to other participants in a random selection process. One print will be on display in the ZACC Main Gallery, as part of the LBPF exhibition/silent auction. The last will be retained as part of a complete set for the ZACC Print shop Archive.
