National Small Print Show 2024

Created by former CAC Board Member and local printmaker Larry Basky, the the National Small Print Show has been an integral part of CAC's mission and provides support for other programs. For over 20 years, the NSPS has been held in the lobby of the Creede Repertory Theatre.

The NSPS will be on display at Creede Repertory Theatre's lobby for in-person viewing from May 25 through June 23. The virtual show has been well-received since its inception in 2021; the CAC has decided to continue offering online sales and auction of monoprints as well as the in-person exhibit.

Sales made through this auction will support the artists and CAC.

CAC patrons that attend the in-person opening at the Creede Repertory Theatre on May 25 from 10 am to 3 pm will be given the first option to purchase prints. Prints will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, some prints may be sold out before the online auction begins on May 26. The price at the opening will be the same as the buy now price online. We will put information about sold out prints on the auction site as soon as possible after the opening.

SILENT AUCTION FOR MONOPRINTS: In order to allow all to have a chance to purchase monoprints, CAC has traditionally held a drawing for monoprints or monotypes (When only one print is available for sale.) Since this is not possible with an online format, we will be using a silent auction for those prints. If only one bidder is interested, they will be able to purchase the print for the minimum bid price at the end of the show. However, other individuals will be able to bid on those prints if they desire during the run of the show. If purchasers want to insure that they get the print of their choice, they can purchase the print by paying the BUY NOW price.

BUY NOW FOR ALL OTHER PRINTS: If there is more than 1 print in an edition available at the beginning of the show, there will not be a silent auction for those prints. They are available to purchase at the buy now price until all of the available prints have sold.
