Our GuaranteeIf you are not satisfied with your purchase, and the print is returned to us in its original condition, we will issue a refund (conditions apply so please contact us to discuss if required).About Our PrintsWith few exceptions the works in our range are 'original' prints. This means they are not reproductions from original canvases but are prints that have been created by the artist for a specific printmaking process on stones (lithograph), metal plates (etching or lithograph), acetate sheets (screenprint) or linoleum blocks (linocut). In special circumstances, such as working with a senior artist who is too frail to execute work on plates, stones or acetates, we have published screenprints which are reproductions from 'signature' works originally painted on canvass. These are identified as 'screenprint' as opposed to 'original screenprint' which is the terminology we use to describe an original print. The prints are produced on acid free, archival quality papers to ensure their longevity. The sale of each print is accompanied by full documentation including an explanation about the imagery and spiritual significance plus technical and full provenance details. Artist's biographies are also included. About The Organisation Behind This Website The Australian Art Print Network is a publisher and marketer of limited edition, fine art prints by Australian Aboriginal artists whose partners have been involved in Aboriginal printmaking for the past twenty years. We do not deal in any other Aboriginal art works. Because we are print specialists, we believe we offer a range, quality and level of service unequaled elsewhere for work in this medium. |

Canopy Artspace
Canopy Artspace combines gallery spaces, artist’s studios, arts organisations, and a printmaking workshop that are dedicated to promoting and showcasing Queensland’s indigenous artists.
In this expansive 1,000 square metre space, collectable contemporary paintings, prints and three dimensional works by internationally recognised artists such as Dennis Nona and Ken Thaiday hang along side those from regional Art Centres and individual artists from the area.
Fronting Grafton Street are three gallery spaces, one an exhibiting gallery, another dedicated to fine art prints and the third showing a wide variety of work from the Network’s stockroom These spaces are run by the Australian Art Network who have been publishing, promoting and exhibiting works by indigenous artists nationally and internationally for the past 15 years.
To the rear of the complex is the NEWflames Foundation’s workshop space. Here, this not for profit organisation nurtures artistic drive through studio residencies and professional development opportunities. for Australian indigenous artists.
Another indigenous arts industry pioneer, Theo Tremblay has relocated his fine art printmaking studio into Canopy Artspace. Here artists can work on linocuts, etchings, lithographs, screenprints, mono prints and papermaking with this master printmaker.
Arts Nexus, a development body for art and culture in Tropical North Queensland, and the Cairns Regional Council’s Creative Partnership Unit also share space in the complex.
This unusual artistic collaboration offers indigenous artists from the region the opportunity to create and present their art as well as providing Cairns visitors and locals an interesting environment in which to view and purchase work by Queensland’s unique indigenous artists.
