LAST EXHIBITION DAY!

The Blue Mountains Print Prize exhibition finishes today at 4pm.

Pick up a print and help the community. Every sold artwork helps the Blue Mountains Printmaking Ink group to continue to develop and improve their studio. This group was established and belongs to the Blue Mountains Creative Arts Centre and is currently managed by printmaking teacher and coordinator Cheryl Yin-Lo. Three cheers for Cheryl for her amazing tenure and work towards increasing the engagement of the printmaking discipline at the centre.

ABOUT GALLERY NWC:

Gallery NWC & Nationwide Curating are proud, ongoing sponsors of the Blue Mountains Print Prize.

In previous years, they have hosted a sponsored exhibition for 1st Prize winner & current BMPP judge, Damon Kowarsky. This exhibition was a wonderful success, Damon’s works were received with awe by their community, and Damon sold works both locally and Internationally through his exhibition ‘From the Mountains to the Sea’.

Previous to this, Gallery NWC sponsored the Emerging Artist Award, offering a solo exhibition to winner Katrina Bodey. This stunning show ‘Skin & Bone: Northern Territory Crocodile’ was equally well-received, and served to enhance & expand the audience of this extremely talented and exciting emerging artist.
