Our mission is to inspire a love of paper, ink, and craft in current and future generations

Miami Paper & Printing Museum is a public-access printmaking and book arts studio that strives to promote innovations and developments to print and book media by providing knowledge, training, and a supportive work space for South Florida's artists. Printmaking comes from a long tradition of collaboration so we work hard to bring together like minded artists to create a community in which these artists can flourish. A healthy print community is a sign of a thriving art scene so our role in Miami as the only community print shop is vital. We provide workshops, studio rental, artist talks, residencies, artist’s book publishing, internships, and print related events to the community year round. If you don’t know us yet, please reach out or connect via our Instagram to get acquainted!
