Community Fine Art Printing at First Church

Accessible large-format printing for Chicago artists — with a special commitment to South Side creatives.

First Presbyterian Church of Chicago is expanding its arts infrastructure to support local artists through an affordable, community-centered fine art printing service.

Using our newly calibrated Epson SureColor P6000, we offer high-quality archival large-format printing for photographers, visual artists, designers, and cultural practitioners who need professional print production without traveling across the city or absorbing high commercial costs.

The South Side has long lacked accessible fine art printing resources. Many artists currently travel far north or work within limited budgets to produce exhibition-ready prints. We believe this infrastructure should exist closer to the communities creating the work.

Current Services

• Archival pigment printing up to 24" wide

• Typical turnaround: 2–5 business days, super flexible

• High-resolution artwork and negative scanning via Epson V800
