The Southern Tablelands between Sydney and Goulburn has always attracted artists and this was the starting point for this exhibition of contemporary prints by the 25 members of the Southern Highlands printmakers. Participants each chose an artist, ranging from pre-colonial times to the recent past, who had connections to the Southern Highlands area. The brief was loose: to create a print work inspired by some aspect of the life or work of the chosen artist. Artists included painters, sculptors, potters and photographers.

The exhibition had funding support through the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery where it was first exhibited in November 2017. It travelled to the Orange Regional Gallery in June 2019 and then in July to the Griffith Regional Art Gallery. It is accompanied by a catalogue with an excellent critical essay by Dr Anne Sanders.
