Really Big Prints! is a unique, multi-day event that brings the community together to celebrate the art of large-scale street roller printing. Each year, 42 printmakers and their teams collaborate to create incredible prints, solve creative problems, share a meal at the annual “printmakers gala,” and foster lifelong friendships.
Thanks to vital partnerships with venue owners, sponsors, volunteers, and the local DPW—who generously provides the steamroller—this incredible event is able to thrive year after year. After the event, these massive artworks are fully documented, exhibited at venues like the Rahr-West Museum of Art and university galleries, and ultimately integrated into a permanent public collection. Join us for an upcoming gallery talk exploring this remarkable collaborative process, how we build community through art, and how we bring these giant prints to life!
Really BIG PRINTS! A Decade of Street Roller Printmaking is on display at the Brooks Stevens Gallery through Saturday, September 5th, 2026. Curated by Berel Lutsky, Craig Grabhorn, and Stephanie Carpenter of Really BIG PRINTS!, along with Teddy Lepley and Laura Farahzad Mayer of MIAD.
