Organised by the NGA’s Department of Australian Prints and Drawings, with support from the Gordon Darling Australasian Print Fund, this important triennial event draws speakers and participants from all around Australia and the Australasian region.

This year the opening of the symposium coincides with the launch of the major historical survey exhibition, The story of Australian printmaking 1801–2005, and two related books, Printed images in Colonial Australia 1801–1901 and Printed images by Australian Artists 1885–1955.
