Printmaking and Interdisciplinary Creation: An Expansive Residency
Open Call
Mountain Standard Time (M:ST) and Alberta Printmakers (A/P) are inviting artists who will be between the age of 18–25 during October, 2023 and who identify as BIPOC* (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) residing in Calgary to apply to Printmaking and Interdisciplinary Creation: an Expansive Residency.
Experience with printmaking is not a prerequisite. Residents may have a practice in any medium, visual or otherwise, but wish to explore printmaking to introduce a multidisciplinary element to their creative practice. During this residency, participants will have access to printmaking education before working independently in the A/P print shop for a period of three months.
Residents will participate in printmaking workshops at the Alberta Printmakers studio, and will also have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one mentorship throughout the residency. Participants will be able to choose their mentors from a diverse pool of artists with expertise in a variety of disciplines. These mentors will be available to consult with, assist, and advise residents through their creative process. Each component of this residency will be fully funded as outlined below.For full residency details and submission guidelines visit albertaprintmakers.com/open-call-expansive-residency.
