St. Charles, Mo’s FREE Steamroller Print Event returns this Saturday, June 13, from 11AM-5PM at the Foundry Art Centre. Follow us to stay in the loop as we get ready this week!

Block Party is a FREE festival that features interactive art projects for all ages, a print market, food trucks, beer booths, music, heavy machinery, and steamroller printing.

The Foundry’s Block Party centers on a unique and over-the-top method of printmaking, using a STEAMROLLER! Large-scale images created by regional artists are carved on large woodblocks. Kansas City-based Twin Hound Print Shop and their team of inkers roll ink onto these blocks, canvas is laid on top, and then the whole thing is run over with a steamroller – squishing the ink from the woodblock to the sheet. These fantastic prints will be taken into the Foundry’s Grand Hall to dry on display.

This Saturday at BLOCK PARTY the Steamroller Print Event, shop art from local printmakers at our annual print fair.

This FREE festival features interactive art projects for all ages, a print market, food trucks, beer booths, live music, heavy machinery, and steamroller printing.

The Foundry’s Block Party centers on a unique and over-the-top method of printmaking, using a STEAMROLLER! Large-scale images created by regional artists are carved on large woodblocks. Kansas City-based Twin Hound Print Shop and their team of inkers roll ink onto these blocks, canvas is laid on top, and then the whole thing is run over with a steamroller – squishing the ink from the woodblock to the sheet. These fantastic prints will be taken into the Foundry’s Grand Hall to dry on display.

In addition to the steamroller prints, the Foundry’s Block Party features an interactive, heavy machinery display in the Foundry’s parking lot, where families can interact with the St. Charles Public Works Department and more.

Visitors are invited to visit artist and sponsor booths, print demonstrations, free art activities for all ages, and of course, to view all of the prints created throughout the day.

Last but not least, we will be introducing you to Darkstina!

Enter a strange and scary place to see the work of Darkstina, a family art business of wife and husband team Christina and Cyrus.

Based in Los Angeles, California, Christina is a professional artist who has worked at studios including Disney and Dreamworks. Cyrus is a jack of all trades artist who has experience in acting, writing, photography, and more. They started A Strange and Scary Place by Darkstina with the need to express themselves more authentically as artists, and love art that rides the line between creepy and cute.

Alongside their large block for Block Party, they also have their exhibition, A Strange & Scary Place, on display in Gallery III as an extension of the Off the Block Print Show. Block Party - The Steamroller Print Event is happening on June 13th at the Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, MO!
