A free exhibition showcasing this yearās 20:20 entrants - 764 original prints from across the country and around the world.
A myriad of different styles and techniques, it really is a spectacle and not to be missed.
In addition to the work on the walls there will be the chance to buy prints from previous years, including those from last year, freshly returned from being on Tour, so if you spotted a print you loved last year, now is the time to come on round and try to secure it!
When? 28th November 11am - 4pm,
and then 4th (6pm-9pm) and 5th (11am - 4pm) December, where it will form part of the amazing Makerās District Open Studios event - three floors of art for sale, demonstrations, workshops and fun!
Where? Hot Bed Press,
Casket Works,
Cow Lane,
Salford M5 4NB.

Stage 2 of the Big Sort finds us carefully packing individual boxes with prints from the studio allocation as described yesterday.
The volunteers check that there are no prints stuck together and that there is a reasonable selection of studios in each box, but that is all - in every other respect boxes are filled with an entirely random set of prints and not curated in any shape or form. The final selection is entirely down to chance!
Lots of boxes filled today, but we canāt begin posting until all the individual boxes have been done, because it will be the remaining prints which are then popped into the Random boxes, as our gifts to the studios for taking partāŗļø

In just two days our wonderful volunteers (only some of whom made the pics!) have shifted an astounding 19,100 prints and completed Stage 1 of The Big Sort!
The prints have been shared equitably between all 55 studios taking part this year, giving each one the broadest range of other studios and edition numbers.
Stage 2 is the much longer stage, where we share each studioās allocation of prints between their members, box them up and send them out to the studios. We aim to be finished by the end of November, but thereās a lot of hard work between now and then!
Keep looking out for further posts on our progress š¤©

Great showing of the 20:20 Print Exchange on at Liverpool John Moore's Atrium Gallery until 19th February. Well done to Kate and the team at LJMU on managing to show over 700 prints in a lovely small space so professionally.
Lovely catalogue/index of prints and poster produced for the show too.
Every time it's shown on tour it looks different and I noticed prints I've not looked at fully before. Great to see students taking photos in the space too, clearly being inspired by the array of prints, processes and subject matters
Well done to LJMU for being voted the best Studio too!
If you want to visit, just head for Paddy's Wigwam, (the Catholic Cathedral). The John Lennon building LJMU arts is to the left, and you can just walk in... plus you can have a good lunch or just a tipple at The Philharmonic pub a stone's throw, other good pubs exist.
(Next up the prints travel to Art Hub Studios, East London in March - April.)
