Artist Residency Program with Tamarind Student Printers (Due Nov. 15)
Artist Residency Program with Tamarind Student Printers
Deadline: November 15th, 2025
Tamarind Institute invites applications for artist collaborations with its skilled student printers. Four guest artists will be selected to participate in two-week residencies in the workshop, each working with a team of student printers under the close supervision of a Tamarind Master Printer. Participating artists will create one or two print editions as outlined in the Call for Proposals, with the printers providing guidance on the materials and all technical aspects of the printing process. No printing experience necessary.
The workshop fee for one edition is a flat $1000 (available for January 20-30, 2026 dates only) and the fee for two editions is a flat fee of $2000 (all other collaboration dates). Half is due one month before the residency begins, with the remainder to be paid to Tamarind Institute when the prints are completed. The prints will be inspected by the Tamarind Curator for printing quality and consistency, and a documentation sheet will be prepared for the artist and printer to sign. The prints will be chopped with the printer’s chop and a special Tamarind chop, designating this as a contract project.
Use of all standard lithographic drawing materials and processes is included in the workshop fee; for use of special photographic processes or special techniques such as image reversal, chine collé, etc, surcharges may be added. The Tamarind Curator will assess the printing costs as the projects are underway, to determine if there will be additional costs. When the artist signs the bon à tirer impression (or approval to print) they are obligated to sign and pay for the completed edition. Editions will be packed by Tamarind and shipped at the artist’s expense (utilizing the University FedEx rate)
