Newsletter #11 - 13 February 2013
We're underway with the 2013 Print Commission and all entries have been received - thanks to all you printmakers out there who have applied. It looks like a great range of work so this year's judges will have a difficult time shortlisting the finalists.
It's not too late to take our short online survey and go in the running for a $100 voucher from Melbourne Etching Supplies. Your input is crucial and will help shape the PCA over the coming years, so have your say now! The survey will close on Monday 18 February.
And as always we're happy to promote your exhibitions, workshops and events so email me with the details and please remember to send images as JPEGs. The deadline for content for the next newsletter is close of business on Monday 11 March for publication on Wednesday 13 March.
