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.

The UP Studio artists this year are made up of:

Therese Kenyon

Barbara Licha

Gail Kenning

Co-curated by Patricia Wilson-Adams and Therese Kenyon this was an exhibition of eleven interstate artists whose work is print based but who have challenged and expanded our understanding of the print in a contemporary context. Printmaking is like a language that continually reinvents itself with artists investigating new meanings through materiality and making.
Artists represented: Patricia Wilson Adams (Regional NSW), Alison Alder (ACT), Jan Davis (Regional NSW), Jan Hogan (Tasmania), Therese Kenyon (NSW) Ben Rak (NSW), Olga Sankey (SA), Heather Shimmen (Regional Vic), Glen Skien (Qld), Sandra Winkworth (NSW), Linda Swinfield (Regional NSW).
WHERE: Maitland Regional Art Gallery, 230 High St Maitland, NSW 2320.
