Megalo’s artist-in-residence program is the only printmaking residency of its kind in Australia. Through an annual callout, this program gives artists a unique opportunity to access Megalo Print Studio – Australia’s largest printmaking studio – to experiment with ideas and make new work.

The Artist in Residence program gives time and space for artists to work in the Megalo studio environment, free from any specified outcomes.

Megalo Print Studio Kamberri (Canberra)

Applications for 2026 close 31st October 2025 at midnight.

About the Residency Program

Megalo’s residency program is a supported opportunity open to artists at all stages of their careers. We aim to support the making of new work that meets Megalo’s objectives of excellence and innovation in printmaking.

The selected artists will receive an artist stipend, materials allowance, and full access to Megalo’s comprehensive professional printmaking facilities.

Artists from outside the Kamberri (Canberra) region will also receive shared accommodation at Cargill’s Cottage.

Nathalie Gautier-Hartog: Paper Universe at the State Library of NSW

October 14, 2025 by Ro Murray Leave a Comment

NATHALIE GAUTIER_HARTOG Looking for Paradise , 2019
Acquire by the State Library NSW 2024

Nathalie Gautier-Hartog, a Sydney Printmakers member, has her work Looking for Paradise on display in the exhibition Paper Universe: the Book as Art, State Library NSW.

The exhibition runs until Sunday 3 May 2026

https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/paper-universe-book-art

Artist Statement: The work creates a parallel between Australian government policies and their consequences on refugees’ quest in looking for a better place to live, a search for paradise and their dreams to find a refuge. Central to the theme of the work, I am bringing the stories of these immigrants, relegated to the margin of society, to the centre page. The 12 books look into how past and present policies instigated to help or denied entry to people in need of a “safe heaven”. The books are presented in a barb wire cage alluding to the restrictive movements imposed on refugees.
