In 2020, as part of MPRG’s 50th anniversary celebrations, MPRG is holding the prestigious biennial National Works on Paper (NWOP) acquisitive exhibition.  With a long and rich history, NWOP attracts leading artists from across Australia working in the fields of drawing, printmaking, digital prints and paper sculpture.

NWOP supports and promotes contemporary Australian artists working on or with paper with up to $50,000 acquisitions and awards.

Seventy-six artists from all corners of Australia have been shortlisted from over 1100 entries for the 2020 National Works on Paper (NWOP) prize. 

This diverse exhibition provides a survey of what’s happening in contemporary art across Australia today. Traditional approaches to working with paper are explored alongside works that incorporate new technologies, pushing the boundaries of the medium and expanding our appreciation of what working with and on paper can be.
