Sydney Contemporary, Paper 2025

 

This year marks our 10th year participating in the Sydney Contemporary Paper event, and we're celebrating with something a little different. In addition to showcasing our artists, we'll also be promoting our very own artist-run space, UPSpace Gallery.

You'll find us at Booth B10 at Carriageworks, Newtown. The booth will be staffed by members of our collective, so please stop by and say hello!

We're also excited to be joined by long-time friend of the Artist Collective, Seraphina Martin—a talented printmaker known for her work with the solar etching technique—as well as artist Anita Shirley. Anita’s studio is located at the Addison Road Community Centre. No stranger to this event, Anita previously exhibited with the Collective at Sydney Contemporary in 2023.
