Screen printing is one of the most crucial components in the organism that is art here in the 21st century. It allows a creative to produce their work in bulk, and get quality artwork out to a wider audience by making it more affordable to purchase. It also is predominantly utilised (okay, sure, digital is big too) in the t-shirt industry, and producing a good screen print is an art unto itself.

When our studio mate Tom Vincent sent us the info for “Think”, we knew it was the first thing we wanted to post up this week. Not only will his mad work be on display, but there are also other familiar names to these pages that we love – and some new names, which is even better.

“Think is an upcoming screen printed art exhibition. THINK will host the work of 10 artists, each with one print showcased in Courthouse ARTS’ new White Box Gallery. THINK hopes to explore and celebrate screen printing as an art form, giving a basic understanding of the medium and gain broader public appreciation for its history and relevance to regional Victoria. THINK is sponsored by GHANDA Clothing.

Free screen printing workshops will be held to coincide with the exhibition, with more details to be released closer to the date. Framed one-off prints and a limited print run of 20 t-shirts of each design will be available for purchase from the exhibition. ”
