Artist Printmaker: Open Call
900 Stories in Print
As part of the City of Edinburgh Council's Edinburgh 900 celebrations, Edinburgh Printmakers is inviting applications from experienced Edinburgh-based artist printmakers to produce a print edition.
The edition should respond to stories submitted as part of the first stage of this project which reflect voices from the vibrant industrial history and growing creative community in Fountainbridge.
The successful artist will be supported through access to our studio and technician support to edition the print. They will receive £200 for materials and an artist fee of £400 for the project. They will have time to research, access the stories and develop their idea independently before receiving technical support from a member of the Studio Team and working collaboratively on the print development in May and June. The Studio Technician will then edition the print in July.
The work will also be sold through Edinburgh Printmakers shop, with one impression entering Edinburgh Printmakers' Permanent Collection. The usual EP Edition commission split will apply.
Please read the full Open Call here.
To apply, please send a short statement of interest including an artist statement (up to 2 pages) clearly explaining how you plan to respond to the stories submitted as part of the 900 Stories in Print project. You can in addition include up to 5 images of previous work and/or a link to your artist website.
Please forward your application to ilaria.casini@edinburghprintmakers.co.uk with the subject line ‘900 Stories in Print EP Edition’.
Deadline: midnight Sunday 20th April.
