STUDIO APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

The Apprenticeship Program, a program of our Undergrowth Educational Print Fund, is an exciting opportunity for emerging artists working in traditional print media to expand their skills in professional studio practices, technical printing proficiency and historical and contemporary knowledge by working in a fine art print publishing studio. The program aims to train two selected students per year with the skills needed to prepare them for a graduate level program, a master printer program, or the creation of their own print studio and studio practice.

Successful candidates show a strong passion for traditional printmaking, a keen awareness of social justice issues and the role of printmaking in addressing inequality — both traditionally, and in our time. The program also gives the apprentice the opportunity to further their own fine art practice by providing after-hours and weekend access to the print studio, along with guidance from master printers and visiting artists.

Applications are currently closed for our 2024/2025 Studio Apprenticeship Position.

UEPF began in 2021 with the mission to support and nurture artists’ careers as printmakers and practicing studio artists. This program offers enriching opportunities for artists working in traditional print media to expand their technical skills and knowledge base through learning experiences in a professional print studio.
