Exhibition dates announced

We are really pleased to finally reveal the dates of the Papergirl artwork exhibition - Saturday 26th of May to Saturday 2nd of June. During this time all submitted artwork will be displayed to the public at The Printhaus print workshops on Llanfdaff Rd in Canton. Massive thanks to The Printhaus who have been hugely supportive of Papergirl Cardiff from the start and who are once again letting us use their excellent space as an exhibition venue, as well as running our print workshops for us!

So if you would like to have your work exhibited and then distributed to the lucky citizens of Cardiff, make sure you get some work into us by Friday 11th of May. Check out how you can submit artwork below or get in touch if you have any questions.

Last year we had over 300 pieces of artwork to distribute, which took a team of 30 cyclists about an hour to do. Those who took part said they wished the ride had been longer, so this year we need even more artwork! Handing out original pieces of artwork to passers-by is a lot of fun and a rewarding experience; likewise, giving a piece of work you have put effort and energy into to someone you don’t know and anticipating their reaction can be exciting. Why not give it a go?

Exhibition Excitement!

After months of planning, and seeking art submissions for our project, we have been overwhelmed and delighted by the number and quality of artworks sent to us, the amount of thought and care that has gone into their preparation, and the generosity of everyone who has donated art.  Thank you so much, everyone!

We have so many beautiful artworks - the Papergirl Team is very envious of those who are going to receive them!! 

At the last count (yes, we are still counting!) almost 70 artists have contributed, both professional and amateur, and we have over 200 individual submissions to exhibit!

We are thrilled with this figure, since it's the first time the project has been run in Cardiff, and Papergirl was a new concept to most people - although some of our contributors had previously sent work to other Papergirl projects around the world.  Our artists are a cosmopolitan lot - being from all over South Wales, London, Manchester, Bristol, and the US..

Our exhibition will be open from Saturday 11th June to Friday 17th June at The Printhaus, 70A Llandaff Road, Canton, Cardiff CF11 9NL.  Come and see the wonderful submissions we have had, and also the great facilities at The Printhaus - we think it'll inspire you to take part next year!

Sunday 12th June      11am - 5pm
