Join us, rain or shine, for giant steamroller printmaking with UMS Flint Artist-in-Residence Janice McCoy and 20+ local artists!

Relief printmaking involves designing, carving, and printing hand-made stamps using ink and pressure. Celebrate relief printmaking with us at a larger-than-life scale in downtown Flint. Check out live printing demonstrations using a steamroller and woodblocks designed by invited Michigan artists. This celebration will also feature family art activities organized by the Flint Institute of Arts and is free to attend.

Limited tent coverage and seating will be available. Take advantage of free Saturday parking in Downtown Flint, and come dressed comfortably to enjoy the day. We also encourage you to make the most of your visit by discovering the food, drink, and local charm of the Flint Farmers Market and other downtown businesses.
