Becoming a member
The Canberra Printmakers is comprised of 30 members, with 25 positions allocated to artists living and working in the Canberra Region (as defined here), and 5 positions allocated to artists living outside the Region.
Applications are reviewed by a selection panel once each year, before the group’s September AGM.
Applicants must submit:
5 high-res images of their work in .jpeg format
A supporting document (in .pdf format) no longer than one A4 page, describing your printmaking experience, artistic practice, and connection to the Canberra Region.
Please note all positions are currently filled. We still encourage prospective members to submit applications in case a position becomes available.
How our membership works
Members pay a membership fee of $120 per year
The members who live within the borders of the ACT region must attend at least two meetings a year, while the out-of-area members must attend at least one (there are online options for attending)
Meetings are held quarterly, on:
the first Sunday of March
the first Sunday of June
the second Sunday of September
the first Sunday of December
Members are expected to contribute to the administration of exhibitions/projects, to ensure the administrative load remains equitable and doesn’t become burdensome
Members are expected to pay additional fees towards the cost of some projects or exhibitions. These vary from project to project, but will always be discussed and voted on by the group so they will never be unexpected
