The Spudnik Press Cooperative Residency Program offers studio space and financial support to artists working in printmaking media to produce new print-based work. Resident Artists become an important part of the Spudnik community by providing public programs that build from their art practice and create conversation and connections.
Throughout the year, Spudnik Press Cooperative 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 printmaking staff. The residency does not include housing, but a travel stipend of up to $500 is available for those traveling to Chicago in 2022. This is in addition to a $500 stipend.
