Come in to the gallery today to view Bootlegs: a fan art exhibition, featuring work by 35 contemporary artists who have leaned into the deviant spirit of reproduction, remix and circulation through the lens of fan art. Whether from gigs remembered, games played, or TV binged - the gallery is a space for our secret obsessions and innermost nostalgia.

Opening 5:30pm next Wednesday, come and gorge on some nostalgia while you warm up with our fav fan moments (and maybe a glass of mulled wine).

Bootlegs: A fan art exhibition runs 30 June - 4 July.
Megalo is open 9:30 - 5 // Tuesday - Saturday.

Megalo is a place where tradition and innovation thrive side by side. Our studio is a working space where centuries old printmaking techniques—etching, screenprinting, lithography and relief printing—are practised every day. A very special thankyou to the incredible , who recently spent some time chatting with us about our studio and why we love what we do.⁠
⁠
⁠
Future Proof the Art of Print!⁠
As we reflect on the incredible community that surrounds Megalo, we just want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support to help us reach 80% of our current fundraiser! ⁠
⁠
But we need your help to reach our goal of $10,000 before 31 May 2026 to make the most of this opportunity! For the next few days only, every dollar donated will be matched, thanks to the .australia Plus 1 Program.⁠
⁠
Help us to keep print alive. We are raising $10,000 to purchase a large format printer for the studio, an essential resource that allows artists to produce positives, reference images and large scale works to support future generations of artists, outreach programs, and artists in residence to create new work. This equipment doesn’t replace traditional printmaking—it strengthens it. ⁠
⁠
⁠
Please help us achieve our goal and make a tax-deductible donation before 31 May, where your donation will be matched through Creative Australia’s Plus 1 program.⁠

With the final day to see Ten Trips Around the Sun, we are looking back to the opening of this wonderful exhibition celebrating ten years of Naarm-based microstudio .

Displaying hundreds of zines, artists prints and so much more that have been produced in collaboration with artists by this powerhouse of DIY publishing, the exhibition is a real dive into the wild and wacky world of Risograph. If you haven't heard of a Risograph print, it is a process that is sometimes descibed as a cross between a screen print and a photocopier that has been reclaimed by artists, designers and zinesters who embrace unique textures, chance and vibrant colour.

Looking back at our February Print Social – screen printing mosaic tile designs on paper. Everyone had so much fun layering different patterns and designs hand drawn digitally by Quinton and Greta on the iPad.

It was so interesting to see what everyone printed and what designs they chose. We were inspired by traditional Moroccan tile designs and colours adding in contemporary elements.

Here’s some photos from the evening!

We have a few spots left for our upcoming May Print Social, click the CLASSES & WORKSOPS link in our bio to find out more!

Artist in Residence Profile – Taner Ates (VCA).

Earlier this year we had one of our grad residents, Taner Ates from the Victorian College of the Arts visit us. He was working in the studios almost every day of his residency.

He worked between both Screen and Press studios. Photographed here, Taner was printing a series of large lithograph prints, it was interesting to see him experiment with different lithographic techniques. For this print he printed in a collage style different motifs drawn on various large stones that were inspired by a family member who drew similar images on the back of a door.

Taner works at VCA as a tech and exhibited at in a group show at Firestation Print Studio earlier this year.

We really enjoyed having Taner here, he is always welcome back!

UPCOMING WORKSHOP // STONE LITHOGRAPHY Low Tox with Millie Mitchell

We are thrilled to have Eora-based artist Millie Mitchell visit and teach a workshop here in May! 🖍️

Stone lithography is a versatile print medium allowing artists to reproduce a range of tonal marks - from illustrative drawing to intuitive brushstrokes and photographic transfers. Based on the principle that grease and water don’t mix, the surface of the stone is chemically manipulated to strategically attract ink to positive image areas, and reject ink in negative space.

Come and learn this interesting process, no prior experience necessary.
