Venice Artist Residency

In Venice, since 1969

We organize Artist Residency Programs throughout the year in Venice, Italy, for professional and practising artists.

Our Studio Residencies are open to projects based on Printmaking and the Artists’ Book, as well as different mediums.

Among the international artists who have worked, lectured, taught and exhibited at the Scuola, are Stanley Hayter, Henri Goetz, Michael Mazur, Hughie O’Donoghue, Jack Boul, Yvonne Boag, Stephen Chambers, Jorg Schmeisser, Clare Romano and many others.

The Program

A Residency at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica offers the unique opportunity to experience Venice as an independent artist integrated into the Scuola’s creative community.

Artists will be able to access the Scuola’s fully equipped laboratories seven days a week, including the holidays.

The residency fees include participation in all of the Scuola’s activities, including courses, workshops, seminars and exhibitions.

Sustainable Printmaking

To make our practice more sustainable, over the years we have replaced products that pose a risk with safer alternatives that have less impact on the environment and the artists’ health.

During the residency you will be able to approach these new processes and take an introduction course to sustainable printmaking.

You will thus be able to work on your projects, while increasing your mastery of the new green methods.

Elective Courses

To use our presses without assistance, less experienced artists have the opportunity to attend an introduction to printmaking course at the cost of 250 euros.

Artists familiar with traditional printmaking techniques can instead  take an introduction course in sustainable printmaking.

This course is a green approach to methods and materials already in use at the Scuola and in the printshops worldwide that are sensible to environmental and sustainability issues.
