InkMasters is a printmaking group with an open access art studio for printmakers, other arts and the wider community. The third will be this year 2016.
InkMasters Cairns Inc a not-for-profit group was established in 2011. InkMasters has a broad-based membership, indigenous and non-indigenous, of professional and emerging artists. We are a small, entirely volunteer organization located in a remote area of northern Australia. We aim to advance Cairns as a centre of printmaking excellence, and provide greater opportunities for the professional devel
opment of artists. We also aim to engage the wider community with this distinctive form of artistic expression, to generate awareness of the print as a primary form of visual art. Our community art centre #55 Art Space is available for hire for individual and group access for all artmaking activities, meetings, office hire and other events.

InkMasters is innovative and dynamic. We have produced two biennial multi-event InkFests. InkFest includes the large juried international InkMasters Print Exhibition. Prizes are offered. InkFest also delivers the BIG PRINT and other community events such as bus tours to studios, artist’s forums, artists-in-residence and other print related happenings. Additional achievements include mounting two international travelling exhibitions and participating in two others, and delivering twelve exhibitions in Cairns two of which travelled widely in Australia. InkMasters has participated in international print conferences, hosted several artists-in-residence and delivered c. twenty skills-based workshops. Individual InkMasters exhibit regularly at home and abroad in solo and group shows. While the majority of our activities are self-funded, we are grateful for the backing of private and government entities and individuals who have provided such generous financial and in-kind support since our inception.
