“… congratulations on the launch of Moon Arrow Press, it is an extraordinary contribution to South Australia’s cultural heritage.”

Moon Arrow Press was conceived by Dr. Adam Dutkiewicz (above) in 2006. It intends to publish once or twice a year on Australian Modern and Contemporary Art, in book and possibly CD-ROM formats. The aim is to reveal the fertile tradition of art in South Australia, which historically has fallen in the shadow of the larger eastern states. In future it may venture into literature.

The logo is based on a heraldic crest to which the family of the publisher’s paternal grandmother in Poland was associated. It is also used for the crest of the town, in today’s Ukraine, of Stara Sil (Stara Sol as it was known when his father’s family lived there before the Soviet advance during WWII).

This site shows published work as well as some projects that are in production or projected for publication up to three years ahead. It was originally designed by Michal Dutkiewicz and realized for practical use by Websmith, contactable at websmith@internode.on.net. It is maintained by Likeable Software, contactable via their website
