Prints from the 2024-2025 show

Small Print Exhibition 2025

Small Print is an unselected, travelling exhibition of PCANZ members’ prints, which travels to galleries around Aotearoa raising awareness of printmaking and PCANZ.

Small Print is an introductory exhibition series of A4 prints and a great way of introducing members’ work to galleries. 

There are at least 10 months of exhibitions, with new prints submitted each year. 

The exhibition is seen by numerous visitors to galleries around the country and it is a great opportunity to showcase your very best work.
