The history of Leftovers:
Leftovers began in 2009 as a result of finding too many scraps of
leftover printing papers jamming our flatfiles. We put out a call to
artists to use those scraps to create an edition of prints no larger
than 5" x 7" and receive a random dozen prints in
return. We have grown from an initial 60 participants to 155 in 2012.
Artists now produce 14 prints, receive 12 in return. Of the two
remaining prints, one is used for exhibitions and the second is featured
in a Silent Auction to raise funds for Hunger
This popular portfolio has become international in scope -
not only with international printmakers but with exhibitions in the US,
Wales and New Zealand. This year's 2013 Leftovers IV portfolio
has been invited to Australia! They hope to continue the exhibition
schedule to include Wharepuke Gallery in New Zealand and Swansea Print
Workshop in Wales and welcome the opportunity for additional
exhibitions so if you are a gallery and would like to support this then please follow the link below they will be very happy to hear from you
