Artist Garry Trinh and I were commissioned to develop new work at The Poster Centre. Trinh is an established Australian artist who makes art about the uncanny, unexpected and spontaneous moments in daily life.

We created a series of posters in response to our experiences negotiating the complex, (& often super confusing), world of social media.

These works are now in the permeant collection at the Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre - a Western Sydney museum, on Darug Country.

The Poster Centre at Blacktown Arts

Over two months, poster artist Wendy Murray will transform the Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre into a pop-up studio called The Poster Centre inspired by Garage Graphix, a legendary print workshop active in the eighties and nineties.

Drop in or register for a workshop for a very rare chance to work directly with a senior artist to learn more about traditional poster-making practices – from sketching and designing to screen-printing and pasting.

At The Poster Centre you can develop an idea to transform into a unique screen-print.

Free. Drop in on Thursdays.
