Sustainability: SNAP is committed to being here for the long run. We will balance organizational growth with responsibilities to our members and partners.

Mandate

SNAP is a non-profit artist run centre dedicated to printmaking in all of its traditional and contemporary forms, carrying out the following:

Maintains a publicly accessible printmaking studio facility to enable artists and members of the community to work in a creative environment that is safe and inclusive.

Programs a public gallery featuring print and print-related works by local, national, and international artists.

Offers a wide range of public educational programs in the processes of printmaking and related media.

Connects with the larger arts and culture community in Edmonton and beyond through a publications program.

Produces community events and outreach programming in cooperation with other organizations and partners.

We’re proud of our roots

SNAP’s mandate is to promote, facilitate and communicate printmaking as an art form

In 1982, a handful of artists established SNAP as an independent, cooperatively-run fine art printshop in the historic Great West Saddlery Building, in central Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In 1996 SNAP opened a gallery. In 2000, the society built its own gallery, the SNAP Gallery, which exhibits print and print-related art. In that year SNAP also added its second printshop.
