Printmaking Postcards
The website for Imprint is a fantastic resource showcasing printmaking postcards by Australian artists, writers and curators. The postcards are published every 1-2 weeks, and are available for anyone to browse freely.
Imprint itself is a magazine dedicated to contemporary fine art printmaking – including works on paper, artists’ books and experimental print-related art – published quarterly by the Print Council of Australia, and so worth joining the PCA for.
With the Australian experience as its focus, Imprint engages in meaningful and diverse debate and analysis surrounding contemporary printmaking within a broader fine art context.
