The Ink Shop Printmaking Center offers an annual Fellowship Grant to a printmaker or book artist. The Fellowship, funded in part from a generous contribution from the Kahn Family, provides an artist with the time and resources to create a new body of work. The Fellow is granted a full year membership to The Ink Shop with 24/7 access to studio and equipment, and is given the opportunity to present this work in a gallery show. The Fellowship enables the artist to participate in Ink Shop exhibitions and portfolio exchanges, and to partake in all aspects of The Ink Shop’s day-to-day management. The Fellow helps with exhibition programs and covers some shop hours.
The next Fellowship begins May 15, 2025 and ends February 15, 2026. The Fellow will be offered a stipend of $2000 and all the benefits and privileges of a Printmaker Associate. The Fellow may teach workshops and/or edition for other artists (for which one could be paid additionally as an independent contractor). The Ink Shop will provide technical advice, guidance, and assistance in production and use of equipment. For the month of February 2024 the Fellow will have the opportunity to present a Solo show.
