Monothon is the Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s biggest annual fundraiser!
The Fundraiser takes place in two parts:
Part 1: Print Week – September 27 – October 3, 2026
Beginning Sunday and running through Saturday, CCP becomes a hive of activity during Print Week!
- Master Printers from around the region join us to offer 5-hour Print Session Blocks for Artist Participants.
- Artists of all levels sign up to work with a Master Printer during a 5-hour session. Together they create up to 10 Monotype Prints.
- One of those 10 prints is chosen for inclusion in our Auction, alongside works from other great artists! The Participant keeps the rest of the prints from their session.
- We make it easy! All materials are included. Clean-up is provided by our volunteers! A buffet-style lunch is set up each day for artists, printers, and volunteers.
- A special Youth Monothon Session is held for teens at the end of Print Week on Sunday, October 4.
- A unique Figure Monothon Session with a live model will take place the following Saturday, October 10.
- Print Week participants receive a free ticket to the Auction and Party.
Part 2: Auction and Party – Saturday, November 7, 2026 – 5-9 PM
Everyone is invited to join us for a catered celebration of Printmaking! Even if you’ve never made a print here, if you value what CCP brings to the community, attending the Auction & Party with your friends is a fantastic way to support our mission!
- The Auction and Party is a ticketed event. This year we are excited to host the event at The Carriage Barn in New Canaan. Catering and beverages are included.
- Guests and Artists place Silent Auction bids on the Monotypes created during Print Week.
- A Live Auction caps off the evening with opportunities to bid on exceptional artworks, unique experiences, and more!
