We Make. We Sell. We Belong.
You’re looking at something made differently; prints developed with our wheelchair printing press, designed and created by us, artists from The Pelican Project.
Every print you buy directly supports the artists who made it. It sustains this space, our mission, and your community.
Buy this art, back our artists.
Read the story of how we made it below.
This project is part funded with the support of the Creative Arc Programme, an initiative funded by the University of Exeter, Exeter City Council and the UK government through the Shared Prosperity Fund.
The Story of Pelican Prints
Members of The Pelican Project have launched a permanent exhibition space and shop in central Exeter, showcasing original printed works created by us, artists from the SEND community, using a wheelchair-powered printing press we designed ourselves in collaboration with Positive Light Projects.
The press is the first of it’s kind. It enables artists with a wide range of physical access needs to independently generate, print and sell original work, placing authorship, ownership and innovation at the heart of the creative process.
We generate ideas for prints- phrases, statements and provocations- and print them on site. All proceeds from sales are reinvested directly into supporting Pelican artists and sustaining our programme.
This press has changed everything; it represents our original ideas, and our unique power. It shows what happens when a community listens.
At the Pelican Project, we join not as partipants, but as drivers of change; we’re not waiting to be included; each of these artworks invites you in to our story…
Be part of the solution for sustainable inclusion- own a peice of it.
