Pollinators: Group Exhibition/Installation at the Print Council of Australia with the Firestation Print Studio

 

DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: Saturday 11th of October 4pm 

 

We have been working with Kate Gorringe-Smith to develop this opportunity. Participants are asked to take inspiration from our native Australian Pollinators to create prints of these species which will form an installation in the space. We plan to create an immersive display of your prints similar to Kate Gorringe-Smith’s Wall of Wings project.
