COVID19 UPDATE: Until further notice (13 October 2020) See below
Hi All Please read ALL of this necessarily long post for an update on how we are managing Impress Printmakers Studio during this health crisis. 1. Impress Printmakers Studio is open to press bookings by individual artists working alone or with a person with whom they usually reside. Numbers in the studio at one time are limited. If using the studio please limit power and water use to conserve resources. Do you need the air conditioner, now it is cooler? Book online and await confirmation of your appointment as usual. https://www.impress.org.au/studio-booking-form.html 2. Some MOB Days are cancelled until further notice. Some such as Etching, Lithography and Screenprinting have recommenced with limited numbers. www.impress.org.au 3. Workshops have recommenced and are being rescheduled in consultation with the Artist Tutors availability. Please consider booking these or even pre-booking places as Workshop income is Impress Printmakers Studio and Gallery's major source of income and we will have very limited income for the duration of this health crisis and economic hibernation. Similarly many Tutors are reliant on intermittent work for income and to support their artistic practice. Note advertised dates where they exist are all current. https://www.impress.org.au/workshops.html 4. We are taking bookings for gallery hire next year and the remainder of this year. Please book your preferred dates now as all current bookings will be moved to new dates in the future in consultation with the current hirers. Preference will be given in order of original booking. https://www.impress.org.au/gallery-hire-proposal-form.html 5. Membership subscriptions are more important to us than ever as these currently represent our last remaining form of income. Unfortunately, expenses remain the same as usual. Therefore, please consider renewing your membership and / or including a most welcome donation. https://www.impress.org.au/membership-application.html Stay safe and sane. Happy Printmaking!
