Print Council of Australia Print Commission

Print Council of Australia - Print Commissions

'For over 50 years the Print Council of Australia has invited contemporary artists to create new editions of original prints on an annual basis, which are then allocated to subscribers and acquired by collections. This raises funds for the organisation, while fostering the creation of new work in print media and promoting the development of Australian printmaking.' (PCA website)
