PRINTMAKERS OPEN CALL: PIGPRINTS RESIDENCY FELLOWSHIP 2024

PigPrints invites printmakers working in intaglio and relief techniques to submit their work for its 2024 Residency Fellowship. The residencies will take place in February and March 2024.

The purpose of this fellowship is to give two artists the possibility of spending 2-week residency periods in Milan to produce work in our printshop, while also having the opportunity to take time to enjoy the city’s rich culture. One artist will be awarded a two-week fellowship for a February 2024 residency, another a two- week March 2024 residency.

The awarded artists will be accommodated in the cozy PigPrints apartment with kitchen and have the use of the print workshop 24/7. Travel and meal costs not included.

While creating personal work, during their stay each selected artist will be asked to produce a small edition in collaboration with PigPrints, which will be shared. All costs for this edition (plates, inks paper, etc) will be covered by PigPrints. The artists will also be asked to donate to the studio a few artist proofs of the work done during their residency time.
