The group emerged at a time when interest in printmaking was experiencing a resurgence, following a lull after the etching boom of the late 1930s. Sydney Printmakers was established as an alternative to the more conservative art institutions of the time, providing opportunities for artists working in contemporary and experimental print practices. Over the decades, the collective has held numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally, showcasing a diverse range of printmaking techniques including
linocut,
etching,
lithography,
screen printing,
collagraphy, and digital processes. The organization remains one of Australia’s longest-running and most prominent printmaking collectives. == Collections ==
