PrintAustin and Link & Pin present
The Contemporary Print
January 16 - February 9th, 2026
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 17, 5-7
Closing Reception: Saturday, February 7, 6-8
Link and Pin is excited to host The Contemporary Print, PrintAustin’s annual juried exhibition, featuring an independent survey of the traditions and innovations of contemporary printmaking. Works in The Contemporary Print demonstrate printmaking’s dynamic and fluid nature, offering distinct styles and techniques that give way to diverse narratives. While some artists find inspiration in their experiences of identity, immigration, and the human condition, others focus on a technical dialogue, drawing from their practice in other mediums as it translates into the language of printmaking.
