Outlet’s 2026 Collaborative Riso Calendar!
Our collaborative risograph calendar is here! We’ve printed these every holiday season for 6 years now and we feel lucky to have the creative folks we know and love and print with (and some new friends too!) participate. For those of you who are new here: every year we take submissions from local artists to create a vibrant 2 color risograph printed and bound calendar. The theme of the calendar this year is BRIGHTNESS!
We design this calendar with printmakers, designers, riso nerds, and print collectors in mind—you can trim the artwork out to keep and frame (12 beautiful prints!), and we include color combinations, special inks and papers, and other extras that can serve as a swatchbook and inspiration for any future projects!

Each year has a theme
The theme of this calendar is BRIGHTNESS!
In years past we’ve had themes like justice, reimagined futures, hope, transitions, abundance, and connection. We know people typically look at calendars often and our goal with picking these themes is to create something that is inspiring, joyful, hopeful, compelling, empowering, and resilient—something that won’t be draining to look at every day. It’s so great to see and get inspired by everything you all make and print at Outlet!
As we move into a new year we want to use this calendar to remind everyone of brightness and joy in times of despair and hopelessness. You can interpret this theme any way you want—abstract, literal, written, drawn, analog, digital, etc. We love the diversity of work that’s possible via riso printing and want to represent that here.
Be part of the calendar!
Submissions for the calendar are closed for this year, but we hope to see you next year!
