The 2013 Printshop Residency is now accepting applications. Due May 15th, 2013.

The GSS Printmaking Residency Program offers three artists six months of unlimited access to the GSS printmaking studio.  The studio is equipped with intaglio, lithography, relief and silkscreen facilities, including all related photo-based processes and large format digital printing.
The residency culminates with an exhibition curated and organized by the current year residents. The exhibition is completely of the residents’ collaborative design, but may feature a selection of residents’ works produced at The Gowanus Studio Space in conjunction with recent work from their greater network of printmakers.
In keeping with the GSS mission to facilitate production and encourage cross-disciplinary exchange, the GSS Printmaking Residency aims to bring accomplished artists and dedicated printmakers into the community with fellow GSS members, fostering experimental collaboration within the community.

Applications are due BY MIDNIGHT May 15th, 2013.
