SNAP invites applications from professionally trained print artists who wish to work in the SNAP Printshop for a 4-6 week period to develop a new body of work. This visiting artist program is open to international print artists and Canadian print artists with a significant exhibition record. Residency will take place between the months of May–August (unless otherwise negotiated).
SNAP is a Non-profit Artist-Run Centre in Edmonton, Alberta dedicated to the production, presentation and dissemination of Fine Art Printmaking and Contemporary Print Media. For more information about SNAP, visit the About section.
The SNAP Visiting Artist in Residence is selected annually by jury.
Visiting Artists are expected to engage regularly with our community of studio renters, artists and SNAP patrons through attendance at Open Studio drop-in sessions (5 hours every 2 weeks), informal critiques with emerging artists and others, attendance at exhibition openings and other events happening throughout the artist’s stay. Furthermore, Visiting Artists will be expected to become members of the Society of Northern Alberta Print-Artists covering the duration of their residency term and sign the standard SNAP Printshop rental agreement outlining terms of use and liability. One print or artist proof from each edition printed during the residency must be provided to SNAP for retention in the print archive. One (or more) print(s) will be donated to SNAP to be sold for fundraising purposes.
Submissions are currently closed due to pandemic restrictions. Please check out our other residency opportunities such as Northern Alberta Artist in Residence and Emerging Artist in Residence
