Inkling of Summer:

Zygote’s 30th Birthday & Solstice Celebration

“A nod to the 90’s”

Thursday, June 25 2026 5:30pm - Sunset

Inkling of Summer is Zygote’s annual summer fundraiser—a vibrant celebration of Cleveland’s creative spirit and the artists who make it thrive. This lively evening helps raise critical funds to support affordable studio space, dynamic printmaking residencies, bold multidisciplinary exhibitions, and the continued growth of Zygote Press: the largest—and only green—printmaking organization between New York and Chicago!

This year’s Inkling of Summer is more meaningful than ever as we celebrate two major milestones: Zygote’s 30th birthday and the grand opening of our new home. After three decades of championing artists, collaboration, and community, we are turning the page to an exciting new chapter and inviting you to help us celebrate the future of printmaking in Cleveland together.

On June 25, join us at our beautiful new home for this year’s very special solstice fundraiser! 

Your $100 ticket commemorates Zygote’s 30 years of serving the Cleveland arts community, honors the grand opening of our Perkins Avenue facility, supports equitable access to the arts and includes an unforgettable  night of food by Cleveland Field Kitchen, music with D.J. NicNacc, printmaking adventures, a live auction, prizes, and future building plan reveals!

Join in on the fun this year,
