Nevena and Macca are joined live in the studio by Trent Walter from Negative Press & Kelly Gellatly co-founders of Melb Art Print Fair

The inaugural Melbourne Art Print Fair: edition1 is set to make its debut at Linden New Art, St Kilda, from February 7-9, 2025. This new event highlights the artistry and innovation of printmaking, bringing together Australia’s finest printmaking studios, artists and enthusiasts for three days of creativity, connection and inspiration.

The fair, conceived by the trio Kelly Gellatly, Kirsty Grant, Bronwyn Johnson of Kaleidoscope Editions, and Trent Walter of Negative Press, aims to elevate printmaking as both an art form and a medium for collectors.

Participating studios include Megalo Print Studio, Baldessin Press, Kaleidoscope Editions, Negative Press, Print Council of Australia, Spacecraft and Sunshine Editions. Visitors can expect to see the work of artists including Melinda Harper, Rob McHaffie, Peter Atkins, Brent Harris, Katherine Hattam, Kylie Banyard, Ellie Malin, Chris Ingham, Brook Andrew, Rose Nolan, Janet Burchill and Jennifer McCamley and Elizabeth Newman.

Director Kelly Gellatly shares that the fair was established, “to celebrate the creativity and collegiality of the printmaking community, and to share the joy we all experience in facilitating and making prints with some of Australia’s most exciting contemporary artists.”

The program will feature artist talks, demonstrations and the launch of major works, offering insights into the techniques and value of limited-edition prints. A special highlight is the inclusion of works from Viridian Press, the studio of master printer John Loane, showcasing Australia’s rich printmaking history and Loane’s collaborations with artists like Brent Harris and Aida Tomescu.

Linden New Art CEO Vincent Alessi underscores the fair’s importance, stating, “It is a unique and radical proposition in focusing exclusively on print works, an often neglected and misunderstood practice. The Fair celebrates printmaking, and the print agencies, who are often experimental and conceptual in their approach, helping artists realise new ways in their practice.”

Free to the public, Melbourne Art Print Fair: edition1 promises to ignite appreciation for printmaking’s artistry and significance.

Prior to entering Parliament, Georgie worked as a Digital Campaigner at United Voice (now United Workers Union), a Communications Adviser at Industry Super Australia and was Chief of Staff to Andy Meddick MP.

Her priorities include banning duck shooting, securing an inquiry into greyhound racing, supporting Victoria’s wildlife rescuers and carers, stopping commercial kangaroo slaughter, improving accessibility to vets and introducing a subsidised vet care system in the state.
