Emerging Artist Support Scheme (EASS) Awards

We are very pleased to be able to offer three awards each year, as part of the ANU School of Art and Design’s Emerging Artist Support Scheme.

Awardees will be provided a one-year membership to the Canberra Printmakers, and inclusion in any projects our group has organised for the year following their graduation.

The 2025 awardees will be included in two exhibitions in 2026, and as an additional bonus will receive a free one-year membership to the Print Council of Australia.

Awardees were announced each year at the ANU School of Art and Design Graduate Exhibition opening, and our 2025 recipients were:

Remi Prica

Melissa Nickols

Ashlee Whitehead

Note: Canberra Printmakers members who are current staff or students at the ANU School of Art and Design are required to abstain from the selection process, to avoid conflicts of interest
