Robynn Smith Keynote | Printopia Festival

Robynn Smith is the founder of Print Day in May, a global printmaking initiative that brings artists together each year to celebrate and share their work.

In this keynote talk, Robynn will reflect on the development of her practice as an artist and educator, and the ways printmaking communities connect across countries and cultures. Drawing on decades of experience teaching and exhibiting internationally, she will share insights into collaboration, collective creativity, and the evolving role of printmaking within contemporary art.

This keynote forms part of Printopia Festival’s Opening Night, which invites audiences to gather, connect with artists, and explore exhibitions across the festival venues.

Time: 5:30pm – 6:30pm
