Kilderrypress.com is an e-commerce venture that will promote and sell fine art prints from artists in Derry and Northwest Ireland. It was founded using funds from the successful City of Culture bid to expand the Derry Print Workshop's facilities. Kilderrypress.com will operate separately from the workshop to market a wider range of artwork through partnerships with local galleries and international sales. The goal is to raise the profile of printmaking and support artists economically in the region and beyond.

1. Kilderrypress.com is an e-commerce venture designed to promote and capitalise on the fine art publishing sector based in Derry and the Northwest region of Ireland. *** The idea for the company is born out of the existing Derry Print Workshop.Ltd (DPW) formed in 2000. DPW is a recognised non-profit organisation founded with the aim of providing facilities for artists to make handmade limited edition original fine art prints; intaglio, etching and relief woodblock and also to promote print making as an art form in this region of Ireland.

2. Derry Print Workshop.Ltd DPW have recently been successful in the City of Culture 10m Capital fund bid investment for a full blown gyclee fine art digital print system and expansion of the existing workshop to accommodate a high demand from local artists. There is a definite opportunity in establishing an e-business in promoting, growing and selling fine art prints of local graphic artists and the artists associated with the Derry City and Northwest region of Ireland in general. *** The Workshop Bid is aimed to grow Artist numbers / access to workshop facilities and increase graphic fine art production / publication in Derry / NW Region Phase 1: 15k Phase 2: 35k

3. Kilderrypress.com ** Kilderrypress.com will act very much as a ‘brand’ indicating quality fine art print artwork, fine art consultancy and as a promotional device to educate and encourage the development and sales of the graphic visual arts in this region of Ireland and beyond. “ The Kilderrypress.com brand is drawn from an area known as Kilderry bordering Culmore in Co Derry and Inishowen Co Donegal. The location is known as one of the very first areas of human settlement in Ireland and definitely of Derry City. The marriage of one of the first printing techniques, intaglio etching, used by artists such as Rembrandt and Picasso, digital gyclee fine art printing and e-commerce provides a fitting product range for the brand.”

4. Kilderrypress.com * Kilderrypress.com will be a totally private venture distinct from the DPW enabling it to fully capitalise on other graphic fine art products to include works from quality galleries, established artists such as Chris Wilson and Michael McGuiness and other printmakers who have no connection to the DPW. * Existing strong links with the Gordon galleries and Studio 6ix in the centre of Derry City will provide a further product stream of high quality artwork products that will be marketed, sold and distributed through the site. http://studio6ix.org/ http://www.gordon-gallery.com/
