Full Steam Ahead 2025
Saturday, August 9, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Witness an over-the-top spectacle as a dozen regional artists collaborate and use a steamroller as a massive printing press! Full Steam Ahead is free to attend at RAM’s Wustum Museum, 2519 Northwestern Avenue, on Saturday, August 9, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Relief printing is a process where a design is carved into wood or similar materials to make a protruding surface that can be inked and printed on paper or fabric. A team of regional professional artists will use this art-making technique—which requires many dedicated hours of conceptualizing, drawing, and carving—to produce oversized prints by flattening the inked relief with a steamroller. These fabric prints will be available for purchase alongside a selection of the artists’ existing work in various media, with proceeds benefitting both the artists and RAM’s Wustum Museum.
