PrintAustin Collective was founded in 2013 by Austin-based printmaker Cathy Savage as a way to bring attention to the vibrant printmaking scene in Austin. Together with Elvia Perrin and a group of local print-related advisors, they produced the first PrintAustin month-long festival in 2014. PrintAustin has grown to include over 60 print-focused events serving thousands of audience members annually, with returning and new participants each year.

With several professional print shops, nationally recognized university printmaking programs, internationally acclaimed print collections, and a thriving printmaking community, Austin is a hub for printmaking in Texas. In collaboration with professional printmaking studios, local galleries, curators, and individual artists, PrintAustin showcases the work of contemporary printmakers from across the world and educates the public on the various techniques in printmaking. Through key partnerships with universities, museums, and commercial galleries, PrintAustin highlights the historical and cultural significance of this artform, hoping to inspire new and seasoned collectors to connect with artists working in this medium.
