GATE 44 residency
Residencies at Gate44 are the expression of its appreciation for cultural and artistic diversity with its sense of belonging to a global artistic community.
Residencies are open to artists from all backgrounds and all levels of expertise in printmaking. At gate44 residents will find a creative community of mostly nice people and enjoy a professional printmaking studio equipped for large scale etching, screen printing, relief printing and lithography.
Residencies can be self conducted for those who are already familiar with printmaking or we can provide assistance by one of the master printmakers. Specific courses and workshop on particular techniques are also available.
Residents are accommodated in a private apartment and enjoy 24 h access to the print studio.
