STUDIO IMMERSION PROJECT
Studio Immersion Project (SIP) is an intense workspace project designed to introduce artists from multiple disciplines to printmaking. SIP encourages and supports the technical and conceptual evolution of creative practice for both emerging and experienced artists. SIP invites artists seeking creative exploration through printmaking, regardless of expertise, to apply their creative knowledge and conceptual goals to the print medium.
SIP Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to artists living and working in New York State that have no affiliation with any institution as a full or part time student, nor have received any other fellowship from RBPMW in the past two years. Prior printmaking experience is not required and artists working in other media are greatly encouraged to submit to this intense printmaking immersion.
SIP Selection Process
THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE. All artists are encouraged to apply. Selection is based on artistic merit determined by an independent three person interdisciplinary panel of art professionals in a blind jury. All jurors names will be made public following the announcement of selected participants. Final selection is determined by RBPMW staff drawn from the jury selected applicants and based on applicant availability. Emerging and mid career artists will have preference in the selection process.
