Artists are selected through invitation and an open call aimed at fine art printers, illustrators, designers, photographers, and creatives alike, to be displayed salon-style and sold at the Temple Bar venue, The Library Project, and online at thelibraryproject.ie. The fair format aims to motivate collecting and to excite artwork sales, supporting the artists’ practice. Each year sees a high number of private and corporate sales, as well as sales to public collections.
Applications are now invited from fine art printers, illustrators, designers, photographers, and all visual artists and creatives to submit works produced in 2024 or later, to be displayed and sold at the HALFTONE print fair.
Submissions may include works produced using any print technique, such as screenprint, stencil, risography, lithography, etching, inkjet printing, etc., without any limitation of approach or concept. All selected works will be on display during HALFTONE at The Library Project from the opening at 1 pm on Saturday, 28 November 2026, when they will go on sale.
