The exhibition will run from 8 April to 28 May 2017 at QVMAG, Royal Park. Admission is free.

For over 90 years Foot & Playsted Pty Ltd have boldly embraced innovation in print & communications.
In the shadow of the great depression, the year 1926 saw Jack Foot & William Playsted combine their experience and craftsmanship to provide a service to the people and businesses of Launceston, enabling the face of commerce to become professionally branded through print communication.
Our reputation for quality, service and advice is steeped in tradition and has been nurtured through the quest to continually improve and adapt to market and technological change.
Still a locally owned company, our range of products and services have changed with the times to meet market expectations. However we still uphold the values of pride and commitment, integrity and the importance of strong and long standing relationships with our clients.
