Sydney Printmakers has some vacancies for new members.
Sydney Printmakers has a cap of 60 members. Our stated aims are professional development for members and the promotion of and education about print. Our main tasks are finding exhibition opportunities and organizing the exhibition of members’ work. Sydney Printmakers is a self-funded and self-directed association, the organizational strength and relevance of which depends on the engagement and contribution of time and energy by its members.
Covid19 intervened in the call for new members last year. But now that we can gather again, we are calling for applications from professional artists to fill the five membership vacancies currently available. You will need to submit a statement of up to 200 words about your work and the reasons you would like to join our association, together with a CV of up to two pages and 6 – 8 low resolution images, no larger than 1MB each. Please also indicate in your statement how you would be able to contribute to the running and growth of Sydney Printmakers.
Make your online application HERE. Applications close 5pm on 1 August.
Short-listed artists will be invited to present their work to the association’s general meeting in mid-September 2021.
will I or won’t I? should I consider joining another group? I do love my printmaking. Is it better for members to live in Sydney actually? I’ll come to see the show at Manly. I have a large drying rack to give away.
Sydney Printmakers does ask that members actively contribute to the group by taking some role in running the organisation, and that is, of course, easier to do if you live in Sydney, but some members manage to do it remotely. Give it a think!
I am super interested in that rack! Im a screenprinter, just moved back to Sydney and am setting up a small home studio.
