 Open Call for Applications: Venice Masterclass Residency in Sustainable Printmaking

• Residency Dates: February 3 - 13, 2025
• Exhibition Dates: February 13 - 28, 2025
• Deadline for Applications: December 31, 2024

The Scuola Internazionale di Grafica is at the forefront of promoting printmaking processes with sustainable methods.

Artists from alla over the world work in our print studio to learn or refine these techniques, which allow for surprising results without the use of traditional, highly toxic materials such as acids, solvents, and rosin.

For this program, we have selected a period of low tourist activity to allow our artists to enjoy the most authentic aspects of a quiet winter Venice.

We invite printmakers to join our exclusive Masterclass Residency. Limited to 8 participants, this program includes five 4-hour workshops covering eco-friendly techniques and materials.

Between sessions, participants will have time for individual work, with access to studio space and resources. The residency will culminate in a group exhibition at SG Gallery, alongside a printed catalogue featuring participants’ work.

Exhibition: "Invincible Cities" Drawing inspiration from “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino, the theme of the Exhibition and Artist Residency focuses on the impact of mass tourism on historic city centers and the resilience of the residents.

The Scuola has always offered an alternative model to ‘hit-and-run’ tourism, inviting artists and enthusiasts to experience the city in a meaningful way.

By staying in Venice and creating art, our resident artists form an authentic bond with the city and its inhabitants, which over the years has led many of them to consider it their city of the heart.

The exhibition “Invincible Cities” will be open from February 13 to 28, 2025. A catalog will be produced, with 10 copies sent to each artist.
