Following the success of the PCA Print Exchanges in 2016, 2018, and 2020, we are pleased to invite our printmaker members to participate once again in our third biennial Print Exchange and celebrate the depth and diversity of contemporary Australian Printmaking.

This is a PCA member only opportunity to create a new edition of prints to be swapped with other members. Your print will be accepted into the PCA Archive as a snapshot of contemporary printmaking in 2022, and included in an online exhibition and sale showcasing your work to the PCA audience of approximately 14,000.

Please note you must be a member of the Print Council of Australia to participate in the project. There are many benefits to being a member including a subscription to the quarterly Imprint magazine. To view membership options visit our membership page.

Welcome to Print Day in May!

Print Day In May is a global celebration of printmaking, held annually on the first Saturday in May in print shops, studios, kitchens, on beaches and sidewalks all over the world.

Join us the first Saturday in May. Every year. Always.

Join us by registering on this site and/or joining the Facebook group Print Day in May Printmakers. Of course you can follow us on Instagram as well! Registration through this site gives you authorship on our blog pages, your name on the site as a participating artist, and emailed PDM newsletters.

For over ten years Robynn Smith and the MPC Printmakers have devoted the first Saturday in May to fine art printmaking. What began locally in the greater Monterey Bay Area of California in 2007, has become a worldwide event. In 2019, artists from all 50 US states, 60 different countries and all 7 continents participated! We are astonished, printmakers. We are thankful, and so proud to have you with us.

Please register for this annual, worldwide event right here. Once registered, this site/blog is for you! Post pix, respond to other printmakers and build community through our shared love of printmaking.

By providing a creative synergy and a forum for sharing and building community, this event unites printmakers worldwide and fosters a better understanding and appreciation of printmaking.

Participation is easy. Just make a print on May 2, 2020! Let the world know what you are doing by chiming in on our blog, Instagram and/or Facebook page.

Send us photos of your prints, your studios and your printmaking friends.

Invite guests and friends into your studios to share your love of printmaking.

Please join us! Make a print anywhere on 2nd May 2020. Complete an edition, try a new technique, make a footprint in the sand or snow, kiss a mirror, make handprints with kids…just print, enjoy, share and let us know about it!
