print archive

Each year the Print Council commissions selected artists to create an edition of prints for the Annual Print Commissioning Program.

These high quality prints are purchased by subscribers, which include public museums, schools and galleries as well as individual collectors.

Two prints from each edition remain in the PCA Archive to be made available for exhibitions and educational research.

The collection includes in excess of 300 prints, dating from the 1960s and is a significant national resource.
