This year Megalo Print Studio is celebrating 45 years of printmaking on Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri Country/Canberra!

Featuring 45 works drawn from the Megalo archive spanning the past 45 years of community arts, from social activism, community projects and artist editioning, the exhibition celebrates the continuing legacy of this extraordinary studio and looks towards the next chapter in their history together. Far from extinct, print lives at Megalo.

Megalo Print Studio was founded in 1980 by a collective of artists and activists in a poorly ventilated tin shed in the suburb of Ainslie. At first, an idea of artists and activists, including screenprinter Alison Alder together with Annie Kavanagh, Paul Ford and Julian Webb, members of Jobless Action, as an employment opportunity, and soon joined by artist Colin Little. Since then, Megalo has transformed into what is now the largest open-access printmaking studio in Australia, supporting arts and communities for everyone and keeping the democratic spirit of printmaking alive at the studio.

Come and celebrate their 45th year with a slice of cake, to show that print lives on Ngunnawal/Ngunawal and Ngambri Country at Megalo. The exhibition will be opened by Megalo co-founder and renowned artist Alison Alder.
