The Poster Centre 2019

The Poster Centre in 2019 was a creative studio response to the Garage Graphix archive of screen-printed posters. Printmaker, Wendy Murray, was invited to setup an open print studio at The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre for 6 weeks. It was artist-run, free and open to all visitors and community participants to make a screen-print and add their voices to the tradition of community activism in Western Sydney. Alongside the print studio was a gallery display of original Garage Graphix artworks and photographs from the 80s and 90s, which inspired the creative work in The Poster Centre.
