A creative residency supports eight artists in the exploration of emerging printmaking techniques and related technologies, culminating in a curated exhibition at both the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Brandywine Workshop. Building on a residency program Brandywine has operated since 1975, resident artists expand their practices and experiment with scale, materials, and tools like 3D printers and laser cutters. An independent panel selects residents based on the artists’ commitment to experimentation with traditional and emerging technologies and to working in interdisciplinary modes. An illustrated catalogue along with virtual and in-person programming illuminate the artists’ creative processes from conception through final production.

The total grant amount represents project funding plus an additional 20% in unrestricted general operating support.
