Manly Art Gallery & Museum (MAG&M) is celebrating the 60th anniversary of Australia’s longest-running independent printmaking association, Sydney Printmakers, with a special exhibition, To the Edges.
MAG&M has had a long association with Sydney Printmakers, hosting the Hot off the Press exhibition a decade ago to mark its half century.
Mayor Michael Regan said To the Edges celebrates the artists of Sydney Printmakers, its standing in the printmaking community and the role it has played in the history of Australian art more generally.
“Sydney Printmakers and MAG&M are very much part of the northern region of Sydney’s cultural eco-system, so it makes sense to have this exhibition in partnership to recognise the significant work of its members.”

A special exhibition featuring new works by 14 contemporary Australian ceramic artists working in collaboration with fellow artists from other art disciplines will soon open at Manly Art Gallery & Museum (MAG&M).
CERAMIX (14 May – 20 June 2021) paired ceramic and non-ceramic artists to produce works with a focus on experimentation and on the many varied possibilities of clay as a starting point.
Mayor Michael Regan said the end result was a fascinating exhibition that goes beyond traditional ceramics.
“It’s well worth coming along and seeing how artists can playfully and skilfully push the limits of their craft, working together and producing extraordinarily creative results.”
