An art residency provides the technical conditions, time, and space to develop ideas and try new approaches. It is a moment that promotes connection between artists from different backgrounds and consequently the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Aviário Studio Printmaking Residency Program aims to promote the exploration and production in the Printmaking field. Artists can develop projects using a wide range of techniques, from relief to intaglio, screen printing, transfer, monotype, among others.
We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation and research; on the other hand, it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work.
The duration, focus and outcome of the residency is defined by the participating artist’s goals.
