Here’s an opportunity to exhibit a body of work or a large print in the Northern Territory. There’s not much time to enter your work, however.

From Mats Unden:

You are invited to participate in priNT2020 – a printmaking exhibition at Northern Centre for Contemporary Art in Darwin 13th – 28th March 2020.

The aim of the show is to highlight the important role printmaking techniques play in many visual artists practices. The aim is to create a nationally (and internationally) recognised annual print exhibition, while generating support towards establishing an open access print workshop in the Top End.

We are looking for big prints, suites, or bodies of work, as well as artist books and other ‘print’ works. Interdisciplinary and experimental works are encouraged to showcase the variety and diversity of the art-form, as long as the core technique is printmaking.

NCCA takes no commission on sales, but please consider donating a portion of the sale towards the aims and goals of priNT.

How to enter:

  • Send an email requesting a copy of the entry form to Mats(see address below). You will need to email the completed form back to Mats before March 1st.
  • Please make sure your works are at NCCA in Parap by 6th March, and a copy of the form is enclosed.
  • There is no entry fee, but all freight and insurance costs are covered by you.

 Works can be framed or unframed. Unframed works will be pinned or hanged using magnets. Unfortunately at this point there are no funds for freight or artist fees. If your work is for sale NCCA will direct any enquires to you, and no commission will be taken.

Postal Address:

NCCA PO Box 82 Parap NT 0840 or NCCA Vimy Lane Parap NT 0820

Please contact Mats for further information on mats.unden@hotmail.com.
