The Little Prints: An Exhibition

The Little Prints is all about encouraging emerging artists and their practices. We had a brilliant response to our open call which has resulted in an exclusive exhibition of mini prints. Featuring works from both recent graduates and established practitioners in the UK, The Little Prints celebrates a new collection limited digital mini prints.The brief for The Little Prints was to think small; getting back to basics and focusing on the details. We wanted to bring out a range of accessible and affordable prints whilst maintaining our core goals of promoting new work from independent artists and making walls beautiful.

The Little Prints exhibition is a limited run of numbered digital editions that will be available in the shop in both A4 (£15.00) and A5 (£10.00). Each design will also be available on the East End Prints website for the exhibition.
