This isn’t just a print fair—it’s a one-day creative takeover celebrating the Midwest’s vibrant print culture.
Expect bold prints, zines, posters, and artist books alongside live DJ sets, hands-on printmaking, and real talk with today’s printmakers. From DIY to fine art, analog to experimental, CPG invites the whole city to vibe, explore, and celebrate the living legacy of print in the heart of Chicago.

The Annual Chicago Printers Guild Publishers Fair is a vibrant snapshot of Chicago’s contemporary print scene. Rooted in a city where printmaking has long fueled economic growth, social movements, radical politics, and underground music, the Fair honors these legacies by keeping print alive—through practice, dialogue, and community.
The Chicago Printers Guild is a collective of artists and print enthusiasts who gather in print shops, archives, and public spaces to share and celebrate the power of print. Through group exhibitions, public programs, and behind-the-scenes tours, CPG highlights printmaking not just as a medium of communication, but as a catalyst for connection and community.
Join us, and be part of the legacy!
