This year marks a major milestone for Australian Print Workshop. We are turning 40!

The next 12 months will be a celebration of this significant achievement — providing insights to the enormous breadth and power of contemporary Australian Printmaking and our role in supporting Artists to produce original fine art prints. We look forward to bringing you a program of commemorative print projects, exhibitions, artist scholarships and public events to mark this milestone.

First up is a series of four exhibitions at APW Gallery. Curated from our extensive archive collection of workshop proofs, these exhibitions will showcase key works by a selection of the many artists who have been involved in APW’s print programs over the years. Works by many of Australia's leading contemporary artists will be featured.

Curated around the broad themes of ‘The Natural World’, ‘Figuration’, ‘Line & Colour’ and ‘Place’ these exhibitions reveal the diversity of print mediums and techniques practiced in our much-loved printmaking studios. APW’s history as a centre of innovation is reflected in the bold and challenging nature of these works which have been produced through the support of APW’s various print programs including: Special Projects, Commissions, Scholarships, Artist-in-Residence and Fellowship Programs.
