2026 City of Melville Open Studios

2026 City of Melville Open Studios | May 2–3

We’re delighted to be part of the 2026 City of Melville Open Studios and to present a special live screenprinting event, where we’ll be creating limited-edition bookmarks across the weekend.

Join us on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May at our studio in Atwell House. 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.

As part of this event, we invite PAWA members to submit a bookmark design for inclusion in the live screenprinting activation. Selected designs will be featured alongside the PAWA logo as the key artwork for our limited-edition bookmarks.

Why submit your work?

• Be featured as part of a major community arts event
• Have your work seen, and taken home, by visitors
• Receive a dedicated social media shout-out
• Be fully credited and tagged across our platforms

We encourage all members to consider submitting, whether you’re emerging or established. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect your work with a broad and engaged audience.

Design specifications:
Bookmarks are 55mm (W) x 180mm (H) and must be submitted as a single-colour design within these dimensions.

Please email your submission to admin@pawa.org.au by Sunday 5 April.

We look forward to seeing you at the PAWA Studio's across the weekend.
