Residency Program
The Residency Program at Spudnik Press Cooperative offers studio space and financial support to artists working in printmaking media to produce new print-based work. During their time with us, Resident Artists become an important part of our community by providing public programs that build from their art practice and create conversation and connections among our members and our community.
Throughout the year, we welcome mid-career to established artists from anywhere in the world to work at Spudnik Press for a period of two to six weeks. Resident Artists enjoy 24-access to the entire studio and receive general support from our printmaking staff. The residency does not include housing, but a travel stipend is available for those traveling to Chicago. We design the duration, focus, and actitivies of each residency based on the needs and priorities of each individual artist.
In exchange, Resident Artists play an integral role in the Spudnik Press community, bringing new perspectives, experiences, and knowledge to our members and the broader public through a variety of public events. These are shaped by each artist’s skills and interests and have included artist talks, panel discussions, portfolio reviews with Spudnik members, collaborative or master workshops, and exhibitions.
The 2019/2020 Residency Program is possible with generous support from the National Endowment for the Arts Arts Work Grant. EligibilityThe Residency Program is committed to serving:
