ABOUT:

We recognize that each individual person brings a unique talent and experience into our friendly open studio. In this we all benefit. 

The Firestation is overseen by a Board of Management (also known as the Committee), which employs a manager. 

The Board’s (which oversees the operations of the FPS) aim is to promote, sustain, and advance fine art Printmaking and Book Arts as a contemporary visual art form, both to the Arts community and the general public utilising the manager’s expertise.

The Firestation Print Studio (FPS) aims to provide quality facilities within a friendly, co-operative, affordable, educative, inclusive, safe and non-discriminatory studio which is open to members most of the time. We encourage you to refer to our Code of Conduct in Appendix B and C, to ensure we all maintain a safe and respectful workspace.
