THE STUDIO

Studio Rental

The Print Studio offers studio rental programs to provide affordable access to printmakers in an environmentally responsible studio for the creation of their art.
The studio facilities can be rented for varying lengths of time by working artists.

Studio Rental Passes

Due to the technical nature of printmaking, all renters must go through an admission process to gain access to The Print Studio facility. This ensures the safety of the printmaker and the integrity of the equipment. Admission to the program is assessed in an interview with the Studio Director. At the time of the interview, artists must show technical proficiency and be prepared to discuss their equipment usage in the studio. The decision of the Studio Director is final and applicants may reapply if needed six months from prior application.
