APW Dowd Foundation Scholarship

Australian Print Workshop in partnership with The Dowd Foundation developed an exciting program to foster contemporary Australian printmaking and support emerging Victorian artists.

The APW Dowd Foundation Scholarship presented a fantastic opportunity for an Artist to undertake a 3-month print-based project at Australian Print Workshop, under the guidance and mentoring of APW's highly skilled Printers.

This scholarship program provided:

• Studio Access – three consecutive months, rent-free use of the professional printmaking facilities and equipment of the Australian Print Workshop Open Access Studio
• Mentoring - the opportunity to meet with APW highly skilled Printers on a regular basis, to discuss their work and to seek technical advice
• Print Collaboration - the opportunity to produce work in collaboration with APW Printers. APW Printers will manage all of the technical aspects of the project, including plate preparation & processing, proofing and editioning the work. All printmaking materials required for the project will also be provided including printing plates, fine art paper and inks
• Exhibition – inclusion in the APW exhibitions program at the APW Gallery; to showcase a selection of works produced as a result of the APW scholarship

A selection of limited edition fine art prints by artists who have been awarded the APW Dowd Foundation Scholarship are available for purchase from the APW Gallery and online through the APW Printstore.
