2026 City of Melville Open Studios | May 2–3
We’re delighted to be part of the 2026 City of Melville Open Studios. Join us on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of May at our studio in Atwell House to support our local makers.
Across the weekend, enjoy a special live screenprinting demonstration, where limited-edition bookmarks will be created. You’ll also have the opportunity to take part yourself, guided by expert screenprinter P. James Bryans, and print your own bookmark from a range of PAWA members’ designs.
We warmly welcome family, friends, past and current members, and anyone curious about printmaking or PAWA to come along and explore the diverse possibilities of print.
If you wish to participate in the Open Studios, please complete the submission form. You are invited to submit up to five prints or print-related items (e.g. T-shirts, tote bags, stickers), which will be displayed at the studio and available for purchase. Submissions may include an edition of five or five unique works.
Due to the anticipated volume of submissions, all works must be presented on mat board and packaged in clear (cello/crystalline) bags. This allows works to be displayed in tubs for browsing, similar to LP records.
Each work must be clearly labelled with:
- Artist name
- Title of work
- Printing method/medium
- Price
Please note:
- Works must be under A2 in size (including mat board)
- PAWA will take a 10% commission on all sales
Key Dates:
- Submission deadline: Monday 27th April
- Artwork delivery: Friday 1st May, 4–7pm (or by prior arrangement)
If you have any questions, please contact the team at admin@pawa.org.au.
We would love your support across the weekend, and assistance with studio sitting is encouraged and greatly appreciated.
Come along, support our makers, and discover inspiring artwork. We look forward to welcoming you to the PAWA Studio across the weekend.
