Professional tools. Shared access. More possibilities.

One of the biggest ideas behind Print Shop is simple: artists, organizations, entrepreneurs and small businesses shouldn’t have to own every expensive piece of equipment they need in order to make good work.

Members have access to professional tools and creative software from Roland, Epson, Sawgrass, Konica Minolta, HP, Graphtec, Ge**er, Apple, Dell and Adobe — all in one shared workspace.

Print. Cut. Press. Scan. Design. Prototype. Experiment. Make the thing.

It’s not just about equipment. It’s about giving people the tools to build skills, expand what they can offer, and make more happen.

Don’t own all this equipment? That’s OK. We do.

🎉 This Saturday, we’re celebrating the Print Shop — and the community that built it.

For nine years, the Print Shop has been a place in Holyoke where artists, makers, small businesses, nonprofits, students, and people with a wild idea have had access to the tools and space to make it real.

Now, as the Print Shop officially becomes a program of Holyoke Art, we’re getting everybody together to celebrate what we’ve built — and what comes next.

💜 Print Shop Members ReUnion & Open House
📅 Saturday, September 12
⏰ 12–6 PM
📍 62 Main Street, Holyoke

Come tour the shop, make some stuff, check out demos, reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and grab some amazing food from Lechonera El Paseo.

This is also a fundraiser to help keep the Print Shop accessible, affordable, and creating opportunities for our community. Can’t make it Saturday? You can still be part of what comes next by making a donation to Holyoke Art:

Come celebrate nine years of making — and help us keep Holyoke making for many more. 💜🖨️✂️🎨
