INK FOR IMPACT

A Community Steamroller Print Event

Information Session

Something BIG is rolling into Amesbury...The Center style.

At The Center, we love hard. We community hard. We art hard.

This fall, we're bringing a large-scale community printmaking event, inspired by BIG INK's famous steamroller printing events, but with a distinctly Center twist. Think giant prints, community collaboration, artists of all levels, families, workshops, live energy, and one unforgettable day where art literally gets rolled over by a steamroller.

Whether you're a seasoned printmaker, a curious beginner, an adventurous family, or simply someone who loves to witness creativity in action, there's a place for you.

Ink for Impact invites artists and community members from Amesbury and beyond to create work around a shared theme, culminating in a spectacular public printing event on Saturday, October 3, 2026.

Leading up to the event, The Center will host a series of September workshops, including:

• Large-scale woodblock carving

• Community collagraph making

• Family-friendly maker sessions

• Artist meet-ups and carving days

Curious what all this looks like? Curious what our theme is?

Join us for a FREE Information Session to learn about the festival, the creative process, artist registration, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and all the ways you can participate, from the macro to the micro...or simply come satisfy your curiosity and see what all the excitement is about.
