A school residency is a unique opportunity for master and postgraduate art students to collectively work on a contemporary print project. Within an international context and in a well-equipped printmaking workshop, the students work on their artistic project guided by their teacher.
Every art school with a master or postgraduate programme can apply for a residency of one or two weeks. Students with no education in the graphic techniques are very welcome, as long as the school provides a teacher with the necessary background to help the students.
Frans Masereel Centrum is a graphical laboratory in which the possibilities of graphical applications are being researched, widened and reformulated. The focus is on creation and experimentation in the workshop. The project the school wishes to realize during the residency reflects this artistic view on graphical techniques.
We encourage schools to collaborate and to apply for a joint project.
