Positive Light Projects: Pelican Prints
Pelican Prints is a new initiative by Positive Light Projects (PLP), in collaboration with The Pelican Project, that builds on the legacy of a previous Creative Arc-funded project, The Pelican Press.
Using both the Press and a proofing press (also funded by Creative Arc), PLP will support the Pelican Project participants to design and produce high-quality, consistent, limited-edition prints for public sale. The works will be sold through a dedicated window-gallery/shop space at PLP and potentially via the website.
This project gives the Pelican artists the opportunity to see their work enter the public domain in a meaningful way — creating pride, visibility, and potential income. Revenue will be reinvested into the project and shared with the artists, supporting greater autonomy and long-term sustainability.
With external funding becoming increasingly competitive, Pelican Prints reflects a move toward creative independence. It strengthens the PLP–Pelican Project partnership while embedding inclusive arts practice more deeply within Exeter’s cultural and civic fabric.
